I would love to have the best of both the Touch and the Paperwhite:

Frontlit display from Paperwhite, upgraded hardware, etc. but keep the physical home button, plus the ability to flip through chapters with a downward swipe. They removed that in the Paperwhite, and last I heard did not add it back. Also, keep the 4GB memory, which I find to be enough, but 2GB is sounds a little TOO cramped!

I also want decent collections management, perhaps they can hire ixtab as a developer for that, and ESPECIALLY the ability to manage those from calibre! While I'm at it, I wish you could view your archived items in collections inside the cloud tab, and a general overhaul to the whole Amazon system of organizing your books. We need to be able to tag an change the metadata -- annoying authors sometimes give titles like:
Artemis Fowl (Artemis Fowl, Book One) (Artemis Fowl (Quality))
Annihilation: R.A. Salvatore Presents The War of the Spider Queen, Book V (R.A Salvatore Presents the War of the Spider Queen)
So You Want to Be a Wizard (digest): Young Wizards, Book One: 1 (Young Wizards Series)
A Feast for Crows: A Song of Ice and Fire: Book Four (Martin, George Rr)

which is just plain wrong.

I want to be able to see the page number directly while I read a book (now that they have had real page numbers for quite some time...) although I hear that may be part of the PW2? In which case it will probably make its way down to us Touch owners anyway, in the Goodreads update.
