eReaders
There are several great eReader options on the market right now, from the tablet-like Amazon Kindle Fire to the E Ink-powered Nook Simple Touch. However, as strong as the eReader offerings are today, they're about to get much better. Barnes & Noble just released its Simple Touch with GlowLight and rumor has it that Amazon is set to release its own backlit E Ink-based Kindle this summer

Glowlight is a neat feature, but not 'much' better. But if it was something I really wanted, I could get it today...I'd be a fool to wait.
I visited the B&N store and looked at it. I could not justify the price based simply on the new ability to not annoy my wife when reading in bed. Besides, annoying her is part of what makes like worth living.
I can't really imagine what new feature they could come up with that would make me want to wait (in a world where I didn't already have one). It does everything I want it to do now, reading-wise, and most of what I want it do do operation-wise. Those few things it doesn't do appear to be by design, such as wifi connection to non-BN servers.
It could be lighter in weight, but it is already lighter than most paper books I read. It could be flexible, but I don't much need or care about that.
It really is practically perfect.
Perhaps if it read my mind and as I approached the end of the current book it went out to the internet and retrieved the next best book in the world. It would just 'know' what that book was, without me having to tell it. That would be cool.
