I definitely enjoy that my EZ Reader Pocket Pro goes for half a month before I lose a bar on the battery meter and that's with reading 100+ pages daily. I don't quite agree with the need for touchscreens on ebook readers because of fingerprints but some form of annotation ability would be nice, such as via a touchpad.
If the screen refresh is quick enough their is no reason why android tablets with color ink won't be introduced in a 1-2 years
