Practically all the suggestions above don't require any change to the electronics. All changes would be in software and software costs are practically zero compared to Kindle (and associated ebook) sales.
Getting the software right means people will buy more Kindles and come away with a happy experience that radiates to other potential buyers. More products sold means cheaper prices. Not improving the software leaves users feeling cheated or disappointed and the company will loose sales and they'll end up out of business.
Imagine if Barnes and Noble didn't upgrade the original software on the Nook - would anyone be buying Nooks now? Out of curiosity have you turned off the automatic firmware updates on your Kindle?
