The main frontiers I see on mobile readers:
* The screen, this is logical, bigger is better, foldable is better (so tiny in the pocket), faster is better, more reel paper like (I wonder am I the only one that is pissed of the sun and other lights reflecting in the eInk display like no paper ever does?)
* The Input device, WACOM is still just a pain, notetaking is not really fun with that gap.
* Software, aside from the screen the biggest frontier. Make buying books with the device more easy, bookmark management, notes on pages management, link pages with each other, integration of dictionary support, integration of collaboration support.
I think everything else like a little smaller, a little faster, a little longer battery life and so on is all bushwa, it may make the little difference that makes a costumer buy that device over an almost similar one from other companies. But its nothing that really that makes technology advance, or the market bigger. And I think the current mobile reader market needs much more to concentrate to expand the market than to concentrate to take away snippets from others.
