I agree with all the good points. After having used it for several months, I can say I don't mind the shape and the full covers would bother me since I like reading it without a cover (the cover is just for protection when not reading). I wish the fold-out stand worked better but...

That said, battery life does bother me.

Has anyone else noticed that sometimes a button press won't register? My eyes flick up to the top of the page after pressing the button, and I end up confused for a moment because I've read this before. This has happened dozens of times on two units, albeit during probably 100 hours of reading.

It's probably an effort to save battery life but I really dislike the wakeup time. None of the other Kindles I've had needed to do this and sitting there waiting for five seconds for it to "wake up" bothers me.

Every once in a while I will come back to a book and it will be on the previous page, as though it didn't store my last location but the previous location. Usually this happens when I open a book again, not when turning the Kindle on.

The UI still hasn't been adjusted for the larger screen. I'd like to fit more items on the screen (I am NOT visually impaired), and I'd like the dots showing the relative size of the book to actually make use of the longer real-estate, not just 3/5ths of it.

And yes, again, battery life is terrible.
