Thank you for the reply @Rkomar.
I am glad companies are working on that, I could be malicious and say that todays it all depends on R&D funds and strategy focused policies, and compromises are not impossible to find and that in any way you are focusing on just one on the almost dozen of improvement points i am directly/indirectly mentioning, but I am happy to see that we can have a nice discussion based on logic and respect. It is a fact that till few company gain on variable cost( book selling) than buying the device, the innovation is a relative source of profit, as previous models would do the trick...

improvement in speed would be not an important factor in no fiction book? Most of the ereaders have sw bug and are not efficient at all, how many times people reset devices, are caught by loading icons, or just do not have the possibility to peek in the pages fast enough like in normal book? For the rest like battery marginal improvements, and resolution i agree with you, but speed is frustrating if instead to just read a novel you need to open and close books, and jump from a chapter to another. We can say that ereader are perfect to read novels from page to page. But they have this feature since ages, i expect more as normal desktop PC moved from few K to 16 giga ram in few years!
