Sage:
I don't think the writing layer (digitiser) is a layer on top of the eink (that's only the case with resistive screens). It has no effect on clarity. The clarity/contrast/sharpness is better than the Kindle PW4 (which has no digitiser). I have compared them side by side.
It's also only using extra battery when you use the notebooks or Pen annotation.
Also the magnets for the power cover add far more weight. Most of the weight is the alloy chassis plate which helps protect the screen panel from stress.
The battery run time is actually fine, but less than some ereaders due to faster CPU and the size of the battery (cell).
