For me, the the most crucial feature according to their importance are:
- epaper display
- price
- PRICE
- *PRICE*
- being able to display and scroll text
- memory for books at least 8MB (it means 8 books in plaintext, which is enough for even a long trip)
- very basic connectivity with PC (ideally it would work as an USB memory stick)
- AAA (or even AA) batteries would be nice. Because if a battery runs out I can replace it with a spare and continue reading.

I really, really wish there was "budget" version featuring e-paper display and a very basic functionality.
- for people like myself with a limited budget
- for people that want to take their reader for the road. I really can't imagine tossing 700 Euro device into the rucksack and going for the trip without worying it will get lost, damaged, stolen, wet, ...
