On the hardware side:
physical page turn buttons
Higher resolution and more robust screens.
Longer battery life
physical page turn buttons. Just one each side of the screen would do, customisable as to which (if any) was the 'back' button).
smaller recess for the screen (to avoid shadows).
On the software side:
Better pagination algorithm. Not necessarily a document-level pagination algorithm, but one that at least looks at windows/orphans for the current page, and that handles justification of paragraphs much better.
User installable fonts (Amazon could sell fonts too!)
Much greater user control over font size, line spacing, margins and clutter on-screen (i.e. a full-screen reading mode)
That'll do.
