I like your list.

My primarily goal is to get a reader for reading sequentially (a novel).

Must be adjustable. I would like a mode that tapping anywhere on the screen page forwards.

[*]Page turn buttons on the side of the bezel, one on left for going back (Western books) or forward (Eastern books) and one on the right (vice versa)
Again, must be adjustable. I would like it so both buttons page forward. I tend to change which hand I hold it in, and would prefer not to go through some menus to change behavior.

[*]Somewhat lighter screen than today's e-ink with a 300 PPI resolution
Higher resolution would be nice. Higher contrast would be nice also.

Quote:
[*]Four serif and four non-serif fonts to choose from, can easily be changed to user installed fonts.
Agree.

Also, I would like customization of formatting: margins, line spacing, font size, paragraph spacing, paragraph indent,..., book title displayed, page numbers, ... And meaningful choices (three choices for line spacing or margins doesn't cut it).

And I don't think I will get this in a "stock" reader. From the way things are looking, I'm guessing my next reader will be some sort of hacked (probably android?) EInk device.
