Also I don't quite know if the posters present here are representative for joe-normal-user. I think its logical that this has a tendancy to become something like "from geeks for geeks", and that isn't bad per se. I think we should only be aware what we are going, and for who we are doing.

Although I work in the software industry, when it comes to the iLiad I would consider myself more of a "joe-normal-user." I think you hit on a good point in that the changes need to keep ease of use and ease of customization as a prime consideration. Many of the users on this board really push the envelope in what the iliad can do, but we need to keep in mind that probably most of the users of the device don't stretch it to quite that degree.
In my opinion, in the push to add features/functionality we need to keep in mind the intended purpose of the device and focus on that as the core. In my mind reading, annotating, sorting, searching and note taking are core functions that should be the focus. Just my .02.
