Personally, I'm waiting for reviews of the production version of the Kobo H2o before I tell Amazon "ciao, thanks for the memories but you don't get to tell me how I should be using an e-reader" ***needless profanity removed***.
Am I angry about this? Ya think?

Then why did you ever get a Kindle if you have such violent disagreements with their memory policy? Surely it didn't come as a surprise...
Also, the Kindle indexing is indeed the problem, insomuch as it actually does have the effects stated. Amazon's so-called insistence on the cloud is somewhat in doubt (the Nook is an excellent example of a cloud-is-king policy, 500 MB sideloading caps, no SD slot, anyone???) especially since they have send-to-kindle.
Now, Amazon may have set things up to be too dependent on the index, and the index may be ill-designed, leading it to be non-optimal for many books, and the other devices may be better. Personally, I don't believe that either, because the only slowdown I have ever seen is in the global searching, where one would expect things to bog down the more content needs to be searched.
I am sure many fellow Kindle owners will share my experiences, here is one to start with (from this very thread no less):
