How much would you pay? What other must-have features would you want for a "premium, limited edition" Reader?

I'm just thinking how Kobo is marketing the Aura as their limited edition device for heavy bibliophiles, and I think Sony should do the same.

For me:
I think I'd pay around $200 for a high quality, metal-build, hi-res, front lit reader with built-in Overdrive (and while I'm dreaming, 3M Cloud Library) eInk reader. It could come in some unique color - like, say Navy Blue.

I guess I just want the 950 with the T1/2 firmware, the hi-res screen, and a front light. I'd even forgo the 3G.
