Page syncing, Amazon has had way before Apple and I think that's one of the more useful features. Kobo has all these social stuff on their reader (I think B&N, too) and Amazon has Xray.
If the WOW factor was easy to think of and implement, it would have been done already. Have faith in the fruit, my manga loving colleague, Apple doesn't skate to where the puck is, it skates towards where the puck is going to be.
