Aside from the searching in a text, the pinch zoom and the wifi on-device downloads (which is a mess among all the readers and sony will only start to have with its new prsT1 model), the kobo kinda already does meet and sometimes exceed sony at 2/3 the price (or less even, depending on the model) , with the latest firmware. We'll see how good and android-ey the new sony will be....but if it wasn't for the hacking of prs+, sony would be the worse option next to kobo.
I can always ask for more language and dictionary options on the kobo (and I do) beyond the selection of western european languages they now have.
but man oh man, I almost don't know what to ask for anymore.
How 'bout:
tabbed web browser and RADIUS encryption login to use on university campuses? with downloads of pages & files, not for reading but just for storage. I'll load them on my computer when I get back to it.
