... a plastic substrate display ... Audio/Alexa integration.
Hopefully plastic would be less likely to crack. The glass screen on my voyage didn't last after it met my tile floor.

My biggest hope is for audio/TTS. When my Voyage broke I replaced my combo of Voyage/Fire(for audio) with my old Kindle Touch. My Touch let me easily switch back and forth between reading and listening the same book -- it was so nice.

Alexa would be cool and I see why you want it. Your ereader would become a universal remote control. Lay down on the couch and control the TV and lights. Use bluetooth to connect to the phone and you can answer phone calls even if your phone is on the counter. However, for me I'd rather keep it simple and focused on ereading. I'd use my phone or tablet for a universal device.
