The poll is interesting and I have enjoyed the responses. Lets see, I too voted for what I thought Amazon would do (large screen, the L-color, solar charging capabilities and a TTS). I only realized after reading this thread that TTS is already in place on some e-readers.
As for waterproofing, I can see both sides of the issues that have been raised here. I do a lot of sideloading, because I did not think to buy a PW2 with 3G (I don't have wifi) but because I get a lot of docs from other sources. The NY Times compilations are one example. If you are into aviation, the FAA puts out their safety magazine in kindle format, then there are the books in the public domain. And I will often sideload my e-book purchases from Amazon. So, I love the easy access to the port on my PW2 and if the port were covered to keep it waterproof I can understand the issues that some of you have raised.
On the otherhand, for those who are out in the elements a lot, or hanging around a pool, lake, etc. with your e-readers, I can see the advantage of having a waterproof device. But is it really waterproof if you accidentally drop it in the water? Just wondering.
