In my opinion, the three things to focus on are:
1 - Holding iRex to their commitment to the battery replacement program
2 - Getting iRex to finish developing and release the unbricking utility
3 - The Mobipocket deal. That doesn't matter to me personally, but it matters to many people, and is something that's unlikely to happen without iRex involvement.
Everything else, the OSS community can provide, including power management improvement. I bet we could even cobble together our own software distribution using apt-get or similar.
Anyone who doesn't feel comfortable with that scenario should probably ask for a refund and buy one of the other models, perhaps the upcoming NAEB reader. I'm generally an optimist by nature, but I think at this point what we see is what we're going to get. It's time to decide if you can live with it, or you want your money back.
Just my humble opinion, of course.
