I think I'll stick with my 505 until it dies. That is what I did with my last reader (Pocket PC). I'm OK buying LIT files and converting them so a lot of titles are available. And I do read a lot of PD stuff anyway so...

But on the next little beasty...

Things like colour screen, user fonts, wifi would be nice to haves. The size of the 505 is fine for what I want it for. Anything else (reference books, Comics etc) can be handled by my UMPC. I'd also like them to drop the MP3 player.

I think the best thing would be a universal format. A format war with a single winner (ala VHS/Betamax or BluRay/HD) would help the industry methinks.
