It would be important to also mention what *NOT* to change:
- screen size is fine (instead create a different line for bigger screens like 8 or 10 inch)
- runtime (ensure that runtime doesn't drop too much due to faster CPU, etc)
- robust construction

That being said, my main hardware complaint is navigation:
- better navigation buttons (easier to press)
- better positioning
- mobe buttons for main things like page turns and scrolling

In particular, given the small screen for some content such as PDF there is a lot of scrolling involved when zooming in. I would like a better analog scroll control. Instead of using fixed scroll steps, use a scroll wheel for analog input of any magnitude scroll. Not sure how it would be imlpemented. Perhaps waiting for a scroll wheel to stop then scroll that much, or something like that.

Anyway, better buttons for page turns and scroll wheel for menus and scrolling when zoomed.
