Great points and ones that I really believe Irex gave considerable thought to with the 800. They've focused on comparable features (suspend, battery life, online store, small footprint, etc) to the competition, but still differentiated themselves with screen size. They left out a lot of features from the iLiad (dual slots, zooming, in device file manipulation) that are probably not that important to the average target user and just add complexity to the device. That might frustrate hard core users, but it will probably lead to a better overall product experience for the larger population.
If we really think about it, the mainstream ereader buyer is going to download directly from the vendor store a few books at a time and maybe side load some classics. Focus on making that experience positive and you'll have happy customers.
