7. Sleeker design with a better finish. (other people, not me.)
8. Shorter delay on the keyboard
9. Ability to zoom in and out of pictures
10. Faster processor, etc.
I'm not sure how #6 could be done since page numbers would change whenever you change font size? It seems to me that the location number they currently use is the best metaphor for a page number on an e-reader.

#8 is a function of the e-ink refresh rate, so they could only improve that by improving the refresh rate, or using a separate one-line LCD text entry field (which would probably have some impact --maybe small?-- on battery life).

Great list though, where do I order?
