Hi avid01, I would agree that your tone could seem demanding, but I also think if you had been a more well known poster, you might not have received the push back that you did.
I can't add anything, unfortunately, since the only device maker I have experience with from your list is Kobo but I don't own one. I think this will be true for most North American members since Kindle is far dominant with, I believe, iBooks in second (or maybe Kobo?)
One thing though, is I think most reader/enthusiasts can tell you what they like or don't about the feel and ease of operation, but do people really care about warranty, support and so on for such an inexpensive item? These aren't iPhones we are talking about after all
