The eb1150 is a great product. My wishes for a follow-on product would be:
1/ replaceable batteries like the older Palm devices with a similar battery life.
2/ Reverse video option with backlighting like the older Palm devices.
3/ Support for SD cards and a filesystem manager to move and delete files.
4/ Lighter weight, if possible.
5/ USB 2.0 connection that makes reader appear as an external hard drive.
6/ Support for additional file types: TXT, HTML, ePub, RTF with images.
7/ Ability to run other reader apps like Mobipocket reader (thus DRM).
8/ An open source OS with published API.

I think a cheap monochrome LCD of the size of the Sony Reader is sufficient. Color eats batteries and increases cost. Audio is unnecessary.

PS, I wouldn't mind seeing Palm offer a reader-sized monochrome Palm device.
