In an attempt to calm some of the fires that Irex have just started with their announcement. And to provide a resource to Irex (either directly, should they get someone on here or indirectly via someone like Henrycat).
What functionality would you like to see on a consumer version.
html/xml

pdf (encrypted as well as unencrypted)
Touchscreen

Power Management to allow up to 10000 pageturns
(essentially stated features of the ER0100)
mobipocket/dotreader/other reader support from day one.
Readers for other things such as common spreadsheet formats.
Zoom and Landscape viewing across all viewers (Henrycat has implied that not all viewers can do this atm)
Page buffering to speed up page turns. (Don't remember Henrycat saying this had been fixed only that it was being looked into)
Open source/open development platform.

Price: lower would be good
Possibly not possible but would be nice (As someone has had a convo with Irex's bloke in the US who said that the comsumer model hardware/OS would essentially stay the same, just with software updates):
Using AA/AAA type batteries (I once owned a phone which had a battery pack. But if nessessary could take 4 AA type batteries. It would be nice, though probably not possible if this did something like it)
Colour screen
Some form of inbuilt light
