I've owned Kindles for years, and never noticed any of these things. Nobody I know has noticed them either. My anecdote is just as valid as yours.
I'm not saying user experience critiques aren't valid, I'm saying the article is so filled with hypberbole and anti-Amazon insults that there's no point debating his complaints.
Like others have said, this guy is going to hate on everything Amazon is doing, because he's making it perfectly clear hates Amazon. It's a no win argument.
That seems unfair; just because he presented the criticisms in a manner which you disagree with doesn't negate the criticisms themselves.
Also keep in mind that just because you don't notice something doesn't make it any more or less valid. The typography issues were pointed out and as a former print designer they are very valid albeit a bit subtle (in my opinion anyway).
