There are a bunch of features that I would add.

The ability to rate books.

The ability to perform tasks while inside the book. So instead of going to a collection and wading through your entire library, just to add a book to the collection. You can add a book to a collection while the book is open.

The ability to mark as finished.

Auto mark as reading.

Reading, finished and each rating in a 5 star system, should automatically have their own collections.

The ability to archive a book. This would be similar to the function in gmail, where a book can be placed in a number of labels (collections), but archived so it doesn't appear in your inbox (list of books).

The ability to view all notes in one place, rather than having to go to the book and the specific page to find the note.

Most of these features are already in the Kobo, but all ereaders could step up their software and add stuff like rss support and tagging.

I mostly want more library management and better flow. The books in the Nook are isolated, having to leave the book to perform tasks is frustrating.

I don't want to have to root my Nook to get what I consider basic functionality. For all the complaints about the Kobo, I can see why it sells as it has many features. I'm now thinking about getting one, but I like the Nook, the feel of it and its design. I want it to succeed, it's sad to hear they're struggling.
