Battery life, and size--tablets are too big for me. I loved reading on a PalmOS device, would've loved to switch to something similar when my Cliés finally died, but didn't want to have to stop reading in the middle of a book to recharge.
E-ink has spoiled me; I want at least 12 hours of solid reading time from a device, and ideally at least 30 hours. Also want pocket-size. Not interested in an iPad; can't easily read that standing up on the train.
I like e-ink better than backlit screens, but it's not very important to me. I'd prefer "read in dim/no light" over "read easily outdoors;" I don't spend a lot of time in direct sunlight.
