Being able to customize the screen savers would be nice.

ummmm

Yeah that is about it. Short of color e-ink which may or may not happen...

The K3 isn't ideal for reading PDFs but it'd still be nice to be able to quickly look at something.

Oh and the Kindle should come with a free pony IMO

It is pure arrogance on Amazon's part to think their choices for screen-saver must be liked by everyone.

2. Better caulking between the screen and frame. (Stronger and less grooved, to avoid lifting and pet hair intrusions. )

3. A single button for TTS on/off

4. Raise the 5 way's edges so it's easier to use without hitting other buttons.

5. A "Favorites" sub-menu from the main menu, so you can flip between books or documents.

4. Customizable screen saver. Options for "Current Book Cover", "My Pictures", "Default", "Personal Info" or "None". The latter would actually be a single image with some very small icon to allow distinction between it and the power off screen. The "My Pictures" option would use all pix in some "blessed" folder such as \Pictures\Screensaver. The "Personal Info" would display the text entered into the Personal Info section in Settings allowing you to have an "If found..." message displayed on a password locked device. Actually, anyone halfway skilled at creating bitmap images can produce the equivalent of all the other options if just an option of a custom picture folder is added.

I am still exploring & playing with it (between reading!).

touch screen...(imaging sliding through the pages on kindle screen.**Its so smooth I'm gonna die***.) Also note taking ability with touch screen would be perfect...
Better PDF support.....
Ideally an ipad level experience on a E-ink screen..

A man can dream..Can't he?

Oh, and sub-collections. Definitely sub-collections!

Oh and not letting me change the screensaver without a hack is just unAmerican. Seriously. Even Apple lets you do that.

Guys and Girls,

this is the best thread EVER! The good news is: All that you wish for does exist! You just want a SONY PRS-X50!!!
