Nice review, and I find I have the same thoughts as you regarding the reading. I also agree that the lack of memory is its greatest drawback.
But I'd like to add one thing:

On the other hand, the device is not designed to use outside in direct sunlight, and in my outside tests, it performed no different than any LCD device, which is to say, without some shade you may as well be holding a slab of plastic and metal. This is nothing new to fans of LCD devices, as most of us buy them with the backlight and multifunction capabilities far before we buy them to use outside.

You can read LCD devices perfectly outside, but they need to be transflective. If there was to arrive a transflective LCD device, 7", I'd buy it in a flash... I've read on my LCD based PDA in the hammock this summer with the backlight turned off.
