[ProDigit]

I read many people writing about "which one should I buy?"; seemingly because all have something missing that we would love to see.

Here's my 'perfect' e-reader:

- A modern and good E-ink screen,
- Long battery life
- 9 or 10" screen, with about twice the resolution of current 6" readers, so that PDF will become viewable without zooming or rotating screen.
- Wifi and web browser
- Touch screen
- Page flip buttons
- 5 way pointer (4 way and enter/ok), as well as a setup, cancel, and one or two programmable buttons
- Hardware on-off switch (no button)
- AC adapter included, or mini-usb connector cable for USB charging.
- USB connection for file or firmware transfer
- SDHC cardslot
- Compatible with all major book formats (.doc, .pdf, .txt, .epub, .html, .hlp, and some more).
- Compatible with all major picture formats (gif, BMP, tiff, jpg, JPEG2000, raw,...)
- I don't really care for mp3 playback, but speech text reading (TTS) would be nice
- Installable apps like:
+ Games (like Sudoku, minesweeper, cardgames like solitaire, gem games, monopoly, chess, 4 in a row, or other games that don't require panning or 3D effects)
+ Programs (like a word and HTML editor, or a code editor like C++; a picture and text and PDF viewer, a calendar, perhaps an alarm clock, mail client, skype or MSN messenger-like client, chronometer, RSS reader, A drawing board or picture editor (like MS paint for e-ink)
+ Screen savers
+ A bookstore app

- Compatible with a USB hub, and USB keyboard and if possible a USB mouse (some sort of 'host' USB connector)
- micro HDMI out for connecting it to an external monitor
- 512MB ram
- 2GB of internal ROM for OS and programs and games
- ROM/firmware upgradeable
- A cover or sleeve, or something to protect the screen while in transport (looking like a binder or something).
