Griffonwing,
When I was reading it, I took exception to your definition of user-friendly (replaceable battery, user-defined storage like SD cards, etc...). While those are interesting factors for the hardware, for user-friendly I would look are more user interface issues such as - with the button placement how hard is it to change pages, how hard is it to find the book I want to read, how hard is it to get the books I want onto the device in the first place, etc...
I've found that for me, the software (firmware) on the device makes a lot more difference about if the device is usable than additional hardware features.
But as you noted different people will be looking for different things in their devices, so I'm just glad that there are so many manufacturers interested in producing readers, so that given a large enough selection you may be able to find a device that matches your criteria.
