Yep, RSE, all those are disadvantages. Or advantages, depending...I very seldom read outdoors, so LCD washout is ..well...*grin*...a washout for me. Battery life, same. As long as I can use it while it charges and I'm not stuck in my desk chair, I'm all good. (There's an outlet right by my bed, and another near the couch). Device heat...well, ok, in 90 plus degree heat in a *normal* Midwest summer, I can see that being a problem, however, in winter....bring it on!!!! I don't even need the folding keyboard.

But, as you point out, everyone's wants/needs/must haves are different, which is why there will never be any single device that's right for everyone.
