If a reader comes out that does those things, I might switch.

I totally agree.
I'm picky, perhaps anal, about the formatting. Mostly though I just want to be able to comfortably read a book for hours on end, and to do that I'm FORCED (by my middleaged eyes) to modify my eBooks with a better font, and all the other text formatting that should be available on a reader but to my knowledge is not fully implemented on any eInk reader. Some of the reader apps for Mac, Windows, iOS, Android, PalmOS, WM, BB OS, etc. come closer, but dedicated eInk readers are very lacking in text formatting/customization capability. I think most of the problem is that dedicated eInk readers are designed by book store companies more interested in selling books than creating a truly versatile reader.
