I mean ... subjectively I know what I want from a reader.

- I want it to be instant on
- I want the content to look exactly like paper
- I want to be able to flick through pages without getting a headache
- I want full text to be searchable
and
- I want it to hold my entire library : high res photos (encyclopaedia, photography books, reference books, comics,) plain text content (short stories and novels) and periodicals (hence the wireless.) BUT I'm willing to compromise on full-color (hence the 4-grayscale)

- I DON'T want annoying buttons on the device
- I DON'T want the flicker from e-paper
- I DON'T want to recharge every day. Every week should be fine.

Now, this really sounds like a fantasy.

I guess my original intent was to see how much of this can be satisfied in a real-world device.
