Improving is one thing, but redesigning is a different matter. Make the screen much bigger and what you have is a different device (and one I would not buy, since portability is crucial for me). As others have pointed out, we must be realistic, so let's first improve the software: a file system is needed (like Gideon I find it cumbersome, to say the least, to navigate through 5 pages of books), and I would like the ability to read other alphabets (especially cyrillic). I would also like to add foreign-language dictionaries, and I am looking forward to improvements over the present Amazon system for converting pdf's. And, lastly, I would like more books to be available.
On a different note: I showed the Kindle to my doctor yesterday (he was a pioneer in computer use and was linked to the hospitals he serviced 20 years ago). He was very impressed and said he thought the device "beautiful". SO, the Kindle's looks do have appeal.
