Well, you'll never be happy with any future Kindles then, since their design team has explicitly stated the precise opposite of your goal: lose features if necessary to make the thing ever more like a piece of paper.

Personally I think they may have forgotten that single pieces of paper (or for that matter small numbers of sheets, e.g. in newspapers) are rather too thin and flexible to conveniently read from, but I'm sure they'll remember before their make-it-thinner crusade gets *that* far.
