Frankly I don't get comparisons of Kindle to tablet PCs. Kindle is a replacement for publications printed on paper, not portable computers. I will buy it because I grew up to a point where I can't stand paper waste, and because it's 'books with ctrl+F'. Personally I don't want Kindle to be bloated with netbook functionality (partially because of your point 3), however an email client will be nice.
