My ideal kindle would take rechargeable batteries, a la the old jetbook lite. If my PW1 worked on commonly available rechargeable batteries I'd probably never buy another reader.

I agree about the battery. Fortunately, you can replace the batteries on all the ereaders - there are several companies that provide replacements, special tool and video to do so. If my Mom can replace the battery in her Nano (which required a soldering iron), I'm sure the ereaders, which just have a snap in connection, are easier.
As to the OP, I LOVE Whispersync titles, but now that the prices have increased, I'm probably not going to be buying more (and well, I have enough for about 6 years anyway). I like having the ebook and the audiobook on the same ereader (which I do on the Kindle Keyboard). It makes it very easy to switch between reading and listening (which happens to me a lot). I can be reading a book, and then get up to make dinner and continue listening to the book while cooking.
