Some things I wish my 505 had:

1) All of the book titles to be the same size type. I have heard that there is a hack for this, but an official update would be better.
2) A symbol indicating type of file. If the file is on an SD card then there is a little SD symbol near each title, but I have several hundred files in .lrf, .rtf, .txt, and .pdf. It would be nice to have that info listed in the title.
3) A well designed hard case that protects the screen but folds away as nice as the original cover.
4) Plugs to cover the USB, power, and phono jacks. Over time dust, lint and stuff tend to collect there. I've already vacuumed (gently) them once in the last six months.

The usual wish list also applies; faster, sharper, more capability, more file formats, front light, bigger screen, indestructible, etc.
