Well, I wanted to vote, but NONE of the features I really care for are listed and it does not let me vote with empty list.

Here is what I consider as important features for an 9.7 inch reader, sorted by importance.

1. 9.7" display (obviously), preferably without glass substrate
2. price
3. *price*
4. PRICE
5. Did I say *PRICE*?
6. good software for reading books, with lots of configuration options (have a look at PocketBook firmware)
7. good firmware with lots of customization options, like possibility to remap all buttons ...
8. physical page-turning buttons on both sides, so the pages can be turned by either hand
9. robust construction
10. rugged (military specs) construction
11. external memory media (such as memory card)
12. ability to annotate the text. Any text, including A4 pdf files and ability to export said annotations to a non-proprietary format.
