Publishers are evil!

Device: Various Kindles
PROS:
It is thinner
16 gray scales
Pages turn 20% faster (not a big deal)
Longer battery life (my K1 already lasts about a week)
Reads text in a computer voice (doubt I'd use it)

CONS
No SD card support (I have a big library so this is a big issue with me)
Non replaceable battery? (at least K2 manual doesn't show how)
No rubberized back (I like the rubberized back)
No nice leather cover (even though I had to add velcro to my K1)

Recommendations for Kindle 3.0 (what K2 should have been)
Support Folders (I have a big library and I want my whole library on my device)
Support ePub
Support PDF (natively)
Support international customers (even if they don't have Whispernet)
You made it thinner -- now eliminate as much whitespace from around the screen as possible
Bigger screen (I want something like the Plastic Logic or iRex DR1000 but offered by Amazon (I like the Amazon content))
Ultimately I'd like 2 devices -- one with a big screen that can display an 8.5x11 page and one with a small screen that I can fit in my pocket for reading novels.
