I like mine a lot. Some things that could be improved:

1. Case color - make it charcoal grey or black - having a few choices on color would be nice
2. Right side next page button - don't need it or make it half the size
3. Left side prev page button, make it the same size as the next page button
4. Lower volume knobs - put on the front - an Alt+some button like the sleep mode - the way they are now they rattle
5. All books shouldn't cost more than $9.99. Tom Perkin's autobiography is $16 and I'd love to read it, but not at that price
6. I'd love to be able to gift books to other Kindle owners and have them download automagically to their Kindle with a little note
7. A $299 price point would make it easier to justify the purchase to your spouse
8. Need more books - but they are off to a good start
9. Oh yeah, and include a decent sleeve or cover already!

But otherwise, I've had a lot of fun using mine. I hope this catches on!
