1. Open up the damned system. Just open it. No one company can provide everything that anybody might want in a device like this.
2. Make it bigger. Much bigger. I'd like something that can display full letter-sized pages size-for-size; some extra display height would allow the same ability for A4 content. (I'm one of those fiftysomething crackpots who cannot abide reading the classics five words at a time on something half the size of a business card.) I've carried a legal-size pad around with me for almost thirty years now, and my mind likes room to move when both reading and writing.
3. Ditch the mechanical keys. Add a touch pad with software to implement a virtual keyboard taking up the lower 1/3 of the display (another reason to make the whole thing bigger) that you can invoke as needed and put away when done.
4. Upgrade the SD card slot to SDHC.
5. (Perhaps a little outre) Put a solar panel on the back so you can set the device down on a windowsill for a few hours and top off the charge.
This wouldn't make it perfect, but would make the Kindle experience hugely better.
