For me the Kindle is keenly priced, and does what I need it to in the main.
If as others have suggested the method that books are indexed/stored is frustrating then yes I'd like to see a method of improving that, but wouldn't want a solution that meant we ended up with Oracle on the thing to manage it.

Well, I can see that, yes. However, I have seen the claim made that even having optional features available somehow diminishes the Kindle as a reader. It wasn't on this forum, and I don't pretend to understand how that works, but I've seen it more than once.
That said, I don't want the Kindle turned into a multi-purpose clone of the iPad either. But we're really talking about optional software addons here, which should never impact the price or performance of the Kindle at all.
