But the perfect Reader needs good software for reading in multiple formats. It's not just Android apps. You want good reading apps. For example, you want to be able to read Kindle eBooks (both KF8 & Mobi) with full typesetting without the need for KFX. You want to have the same settings as a Kindle and more advanced options to give more control. You want RMDSk like Kobo has but you want full ePub 2 support. You also want a similar program to fully handle ePub 3. You want plenty of storage (8 gigs would do). You want 2gigs of ram for running other apps. You want separate ram for storage for your apps/OS. You want a beefy battery. Better then what's out there now. You want the battery user replaceable. You want a better processor. At least a 1.2Ghz dual-core processor. You want a larger screen (6.8 or 7"). You want wireless charging. You want bluetooth. You want the ability to add in your own fonts. You want Advanced font control. You want a non-glass backed screen. You want it not to be just another Reader with nothing special going for it like the one they are going to be making.
