* Name based navigation - The ability to just to a name or atleast the first letter. I'm sick of having to click through page after page to get to S or X from A or B, especially when I have a couple of hundred books in it.
* Dictionary search - Be able to look up a word directly in the dictionary as opposed to just selecting one in a book.
* Better support for HTML - The current support is basic, and doesn't treat complex pages well. And ass the ability to link to files outside the document itself.
* Battery status inside books
* When in the go to page option, show the current page number so you have an idea as to where you are.
* Unified Bookmarks menue like the sony, so you can jump directly to any of you current ongoing books without having to navigate directly to the book.
* allow the side buttons to be user configurable. I dont use the Music option and want to be able to map another function like say, dictionary lookup to it.
* Make lookup the first option in the menue FOR GOODNESS SAKE.
* Allow landscape mode outside PDF's like the sony
* The ability to add notes and export them back to the computer. They could easily use a virtual keyboard lik the one the numberpad they already use. (not that important but would be nice)
* support for zip archives, so I can keep files and images zipped to save space and organised.
A Few others, but these are the ones that come to mind immediately.

I would subscribe to these requirements. First and foremost certainly the folder view. I do not see it as so difficult; resume from last position I would put as second requirement, but not so distant from the folder view.
Not being a native English speaking person I do not understand the need for dictionary lookup, personally I've never needed it when I read a book, but since it is not the first time I see it so strongly emphasized, there must be some reason.
What about lit support ? I see that bebook has it. Is it so difficult to implement ?
Last but not least, metadata support. I am not very happy when I change the metadata in the desktop mobipocket and nothing happens in the Cybook.
With metadata support I would strongly encourage (it should only be a small step) search and sort by author.
