When a reader comes out that addresses all, or nearly all, the frustrations/limitations I have with my current reader (while not introducing new problems or bugs). Or else a reader that has an amazingly improved screen (which I think is unlikely in a b&w e-ink reader).
My reader (my first one) is 1 1/2 years old and the next generation has come out from all the major brands since then, and none has been the perfect combination of features that leads me to want to switch. I don't typically upgrade my electronics with every generation anyway. In the past I have had to upgrade small electronics when the battery goes (which I think is intentional!).
I am intrigued by the "glowlight" technology, that would be useful for me. But I will reserve judgement until I see it (and I would probably wait at least another year to get a new reader anyway).
