I want a robust ebook reader (no glass that shatters), at least 300dpi display, contrast at least as good as current paperbacks, and a battery that lasts at least a month (i.e. 15 books) before needing a recharge.
I expect to get everything except the battery life in the next five to ten years.

Some good points. I hadn't really realised the display was quite fragile, but yes, if they could make it more robust and really paper-like and extend the battery life then that would be good. I imagine like other devices though there will be a drive towards extra 'features' instead as something with lots of bells and whistles will sell more easily than a good, but simple device.
