  • Add MORE content (sorry)
  • open the Linux so I can rsync, grep, find, perl, etc, allow Debian repos like my Asus eee and support these great developers. or just add spotlight or lucene searching with regex support
  • really could use MORE books available
  • add touchscreen a la my Palm TX or wacom Iliad so I can scribble on E-ink
  • support PDF either with desktop app or onboard like xpdf so I can read journals articles on it.
  • getting MORE publishers onboard to convert their back catalog
  • HYmini wind and miniSolar support
I can skip the wifi,bluetooth and color which will drain the battery.

I could use the solar to sustain its long battery life when I'm trapped in the mountains.
I can scribble or type in my novel.
I can keep every conceivable document format in it.

Did I mention MORE content?
I'm with you on all of this, but think you're undershooting with the new content requests.
