Hmm, looking at the ad I'm struck by two things - the waves of text flowing in from the ether (wireless?) and one of the book titles "Water for Elephants" which is currently only available in an ebook format for Kindle. No PDF, LIT, or BBeB.

So I'm gonna say a radically expanded bookstore - perhaps a share with Amazon - and possibly a wireless add-on, maybe using the SD slot and one of the dual memory/wifi cards. Or wifi/bluetooth. And, of course, some form of bookstore firmware. If it's wifi, it would even take care of the mac issue.

I don't see a new reader, not after introducing the 505 into international markets in the last few months. They would be shooting themselves in the foot.
