For the current market that the Kindle is targeting, I agree that there is no need for a Kindle 2.0 AND

As a Kindle owner, most of what I want could be handled via a software upgrade..which I will continue to hope that Amazon delivers by providing "over the air updates".

To expand their market reach into textbooks and technical manuals, a larger reader would be ideal. Likewise, they would need to get more textbook publishers on board and natively support pdfs that flow well. I also think the ability to transfer documents with comments/highlighting to a PC to print would be important to me. But for my recreational reading (which is all I use the Kindle for currently), none of this personally matters.
