Without changing the hardware, I'd like to to see:-
1 Better organization of books
a Currently Reading page with a means to remove titles
a Genre/Subject list
a Series entry sorted by sequence number
2 Reformatting as a background process. Whenever nothing else is going on, it can be building any tables that were not included in the download. You might get a spinning circle for the first book you open after loading up the reader, but the rest should be done by the time you open the next book.
3. Allow a generic USB charger to charge the device.
If you want to see ideas for redesigned hardware.
I want the same amount of text display area that I get with a standard paperback and I want it at the current dpi, if not higher. That would mean a screen that is 1100x600 and no space at the bottom for controls, but moving the controls to the edge would woek for me. A non-reflective treatment for the display would be nice.
Offer a USB remote control - either a simple control pad or a full keyboard.
Offer a clamshell chassis, controls in one half, display in the other.
Offer a dual screen device. In normal mode, use the next/prev page buttons to update each page in turn, i.e. no more pause in reading while the screen updates. In comparison mode, each screen is independent and can be a view on the same book at a different place or a view of a separate book. A touch screen could double as a control pad/keyboard. Lots of scope but the doubled hardware would make it very expensive.
