I'd only wish the software would be fully open source so that capable third parties would be able to raise its abysmal usage level to something more versatile. Something like a Cyanogenmod for eink devices would be just wonderful.

If you want to read a pdf with images (charts, etc.) that help to understand its text and you can't see them at the same time, it is very annoying. Then, you need great speed/responsiveness.
