Having owned several ereaders over the years, beginning with the Franklin EBookman, I have my own ideas about what features would make an ereader 'perfect' for me. I'm sure you do, too, so I thought I'd start this thread so we all could share what we would consider 'perfect'.

Eink screen (of course), Carta or better

The same weight and measurements of the Sony PRS-T1

SIDE PAGE TURN BUTTONS, or a rocker wheel on the side - I really, really, really want thoughtless, easy, one-handed page turning. Buttons on the bezel or the bottom of the reader don't work for me - I want that button under my forefinger or thumb so I can just press and read.

Long battery life

A front light

The same ability to change fonts, size, line spacing, etc. that the Kobo readers have

The same dictionaries that the Sony readers had

So what would your 'perfect' reader be?
