1. Improve the accuracy of writing text. Now the pen is nearly no use, it is very hard to write a note due to the inaccuracy of touch screen. Except for improving accuracy, another simpler way is enlarging the inputing area when user is writing.

2. Rotate web browser when surfing web. I much like the the web browser on e-ink ( I do hope to get ride of LCD after work). It can nearly open all the web page. But it's too strange it cant rotate to 1024px width for reading, this erased half value of the browser. Don't know if this is purposely, since it seems simple to enable it. I really hope the next firmware can allow rotating browser.

3. Unicode support. Actually I think this should be a standard feature for any ereader now days. But its priority is lower since there are hacking for fonts.
I roughly agree, but I don't get #1. I really have no issues with the accuracy of the stylus, I have been annotating PDFs with ease. It's actually much faster and more responsive than the stylus on the PRS900 and much more precise than the third-party stylus I use with my iPad. are you sure you don't have a defective unit?
