As ottdmk mentioned, Aura One's Natural Light is innovative. So is the Voyage's light sensor and 'buttons', H20's water-proofing and the entire design of the Oasis.
What is frustrating is that these innovations aren't adopted as standard into all future e-readers. I think e-readers suffer from being a niche product with a tight profit margin.
I remember reading the Digital reader's initial blog entry about the Aura 2 being destined to be a flop. The commentary on it seemed to suspect that the compromises were made because the Glo HD was just too expensive to manufacture vs. what they could charge for it. I think they were right.
