Really what can they add right now? Dunking it in the bath? I guess...
Water-proofing is not high on my list. I'd like physical page turn buttons, smaller, flatter bezels, bigger screen, lighter weight, continued tweaks to resolution, contrast, fonts and readability. The e-paper readers are still not a good match for magazines-- tablets are better for that-- but continuing to move in the direction of blending the best of e-paper & tablets is a good thing.
