Another thing I hate is that all of the (US) ebook readers have dropped the micro SD slot in favor of a small memory internal memory. If you want to read comics or side-load a bunch of books from other retailers or public domain libraries, you'll rapidly run out of room because the retailer wants you to download a small number of books from their cloud when you want to read one.

Except for when I'm reading some technical non-fiction, I'm not convinced I need a 7.8" screen. My Kobo Glo HD easily fits in a pocket, is about the same size as a paperback book, and I was able to easily upgrade it to 64GB storage. It may well be my last ereader if I can figure out how to replace the battery when it starts dying several years from now, unless the next generation has at least the same resolution as now, decent color screens, as in good color reproduction, but not necessarily fast enough refresh rate to watch a movie, and at least 64GB storage, preferably expandable to more.
