For me, a built in light is worth the trade off of slightly less text sharpness. I tried the audio a couple of times on my Kindle 2 and Kindle Keyboard and found it terrible. I don't miss it at all. I also would like to see the storage bumped back up to 4GB.

The book cover as sleep screen would be awesome! I would like to have the progress bar back as well. I also really miss the title bar at the top of the screen from my Kindle 2.

Agreed. The title and battery percentage would be great to have at the top of the page.
