I would love a good reader which allows updates of the rendering engine. In that way newer specifications and newer versions of the rendering engine would not be a problem.

Most manufacturers I read about here, only have minimal firmware upgrades. I would really like for example Adobe distribute their mobile engine to end-users and that the e-reader manufacturers would allow users to replace it on their readers.

I can't imagine that for example Sony of Nook will ever allow that.

Of course I am talking about e-Ink screens, not LCD/LED screens.
