Some offerings that would get me to open my pocketbook:

Larger display for reading technical PDFs/Magazines/Newspapers.
Plastic Logics prototypes for sale in USA (I'd hawk my house for one of those big and skinny beauties.)
Color
Adjustable fonts. Love that feature on my Kindle.
Greater contrast between background and fonts.
Ability to adjust the contrast (if possible given the technology).
Built in reading light or some kind of option that would include a clip on "built for the unit" type of reading light.
Ability to read multi format documents without conversion.
Even better book-like 'feel' to the device.
A device that keeps and merges the best elements of all of the current and past readers.

Whew!
