8. And of course, it would be grand if it played nice with Linux, or ran Linux itself... since everything I own is Linux.
There is one point to consider there :

ADE 1.8 just don't work with wine. And it's required to download books "protected" with adobe inept. Buying DRM ePub books is likely to be a no go in the reasonably near future.

Most reader use mass storage and will play nice with linux. DRM is where the problem is.

They still had the best rendering back then. Sony have catch up now. (Lack of justify bothered me more than the lack of bookmarks.)
The orizon have bookmarks for ePub. The opus probably will too, whenever bookeen *finally* decides to update it.
