Color would be nice, too. Better contrast would allow me to read in lower lighting situations without an additional light source and larger screen size would make reading periodicals and PDF formatted documents easier.
Agreed... that was one of the deciding factors for me. Plus there's the fact that having a Kindle would lock you in to purchasing eBooks from Amazon. I feel like my Cybook gives me a lot more freedom in that respect.
