I love my Kindle and can forgive the response times which I'm sure will improve, but on the other hand I agree with John, the software's low quality. It's nowhere near my iPhone in terms of polish, thought or fairly obvious testing.
For me these things bug me:
The keyboard is missing some obvious keys like comma and apostrophe. You have to go into [Sym] for them but you use them all the time when making notes. They're important keys that have been inexplicably relegated to the extra menu.
There's no first letter capitalization when you start typing a note or start a new sentence. Extremely irritating.
The bookmarking system is confusing, inconsistently named and clumsy.
Some things take a silly long time to figure out, like switching between your present page and the chapter list and back. This is mainly because the menu in a book has silly options in it (Turn Wireless Off is the first option? wtf?).
The arrow rocker doesn't work at all well in landscape mode.
Some things require a full screen refresh while others do not (opening a menu doesn't, closing it does). It's just that little bit jarring.
You can't zoom on pictures enough, very irritating for books which have little maps of battles or such like.
I've had it go titwozz more than once when plugging it into my PC. Is it charging, is it not, screen suddenly resets.
Apple wouldn't have let any of that obvious stuff go out of the door, you notice pretty much all of it within the first few days.
