It formatted my 2GB SD card without issues, but that's a standard SD not SDHC

I don't agree with the issue with the side buttons, I find that I can hold the reader with my thumb near the lower side button and just brush my thumb to the side to move the page on, I quite like that.

I agree about the writing, it's currently useless. But, I hope for an improvement there.

The issues with the bottom buttons I agree with when in full screen mode. Perhaps a key combination to unlock the buttons or revert from fullscreen mode.

The boot and shutdown don't really bother me, though any speed increases would always be appreciated.

The battery like of 4-5 hours doesn't worry me in the short term, I expect to see this corrected soon.

My flip case is light and compact and actually makes the device easier to hold IMHO.

The power cable, I will agree with, but I mainly charge it during use with a Motorola Razr charger which conveniently is right angled :-)

It seems fine with my PDFs, the novels flip just as fast as anything, while the magazines are somewhat slower, but by no means intolerable.
