Here are a couple of features I'd like to see, mainly related to the Books listing:

1a. "I didn't want to open that!" This gets me all the time. I'll be paging through the book list, the device interprets a drag as a long-press, and I've opened a book I didn't mean to open. Sure, closing it and marking it unread is easy enough - except that now it's at the top of the Recent sort and there's no way to put it back where it was.

1b. For that matter, changing a book's "read/unread" status without opening it shouldn't affect its place in the Recent sort, regardless of how it happens.

2. Multiple filters in the book list. If I only want to see downloaded books, I can't also select unread books. For that matter, I can't select "not finished" (unread plus reading). Unrelated flags shouldn't be mashed together like that.

3. Wi-fi does not equal internet. There are valid reasons for wanting to connect to a wireless LAN - for example, if your internet service is out but you want to use the browser to connect to a server on your home network to download a book stored there. The reader shouldn't require internet connectivity before allowing you to connect to a network. (Check for it, sure - go right ahead and tell me you can't see the outside world on this network. But don't block me from connecting as if there's something wrong with my password.)
