For a bunch of folks that want their niche passion/hobby to become mainstream, ya sure don't sound like you understand what mainstream means.
The idea is to get the thing to be *less and less 'gadgety'*...
How many iPods have microSD again? Books are *tiny* *tiny* things...you really want to be fumbling around with thumbnail size fragile flash cards when you can load the thing up with drag and drop?
Folders? Gee-gaws?
REALLY?!?!
Wow

Other than the tone, I agree with you on everything but the folders comment. Being able to organize my books would be a great advance and I would really have liked to see that. 1.4 gigs of storage is fine with me, but I can see the need for more if you use it for playing music.
Making something less gadgety is probably the way to get the reader mainstreamed and then lead to more niche oriented "high end" readers for our inner geeks.
