Well, a new device might be nice, but I think it should be in addition to and not a replacement of the pr-505. As might an add on wireless module.

That being said, what I would like to see...
1. Support for additional formats might be nice. Particularly nice would be support for ereader format (since that is currently not supported by any dedicated readers).
2. A new online or Java based system that will run on Windows, OSX or Linux. No reason to alienate 5-10% of your market that doesn't like Windows.
3. Announcing an agreement with major publishing houses for DRM free books in multiple formats available at the new revamped (multi platform) Sony Connect Store.

Things I would not particularly like to see.
1. Kindle Support. Frankly the format is too closed as far as I am concerned. Why encourage Amazon.
2. Support for .lit (Again, too closed).

In general of all the readers I have seen the PR-505 comes closest to what I am looking for. If it was made a bit more open and usable on Non-PCs I would get fully behind it.
