I understand the battery situation better than the lack of a card port. Form factor is important and one of the things I like best about this redesign.
And while I can understand the desire for the card port I myself am not using those ports on my Sony. Part of that is the battery life and native memory performance advantage, at least in the Sony. I "get" the appeal of carrying around my entire book collection (or even a year's worth) but it is not awkward for me to copy books to my reader, maxing out around 20 books, and delete books when I'm done, never exceeding the built-in memory.
