As much as I LOVE my Reader, I'm going to recommend a Kindle for you, and here's why:
-Same screen clarity as the Reader
-Cheaper prices on bestsellers
-Sony software doesn't work on the Mac, you have to interface with Calibre and even then I don't think you can buy Sony's books, you have to get them elsewhere.
-Kindle has search functions

For the battery life, make sure you keep whispernet off until you need it (it will drain the battery).
Sony isn't going to come out with anything soon. I hear possibly the Kindle might, but do you really want to play that waiting game?
I think the 700 is the only one with annotate? Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

Your list was perfect, I have a feeling others will agree with me (at least comparing the Sony vs Kindle, I don't know much about the other devices).

Hope this helps!
