I thought charge through USB was something everyone wanted? It was one of the bigger complaints of the iLiad because it was lacking.
Not keeping up with the stylus is because of the eink delay. As someone who only takes notes on the iLiad, you don't really notice this when you're actually writing. Trust that the line will show up, and all is well.
On A4 vs Letter, I found
this page that compares the sizes. Letter is only slightly wider, and is shorter than A4. I don't think you will notice the difference when reading letter documents on it. Especially when you tell it to remove the margins.
They claim that sleep and suspend are coming soon. If this is important to you, I suggest you wait until it's released before making up your mind.
