A multicore CPU or a higher clocked CPU so that page turns can be faster with a better overall UI experience especially when reading. Since currently page turning is far too slow on my aura h20 and I know e-ink can be refreshed faster than that.
That along with better loading of the assets, the ability to use zRAM for caching data in ram since kobo is using bottom-of-the-bucket grade sd cards that are only class 4(from the teardowns I've seen) being able to get the whole thing to just work better.
Finally something with big.LITTLE would keep or likely reduce power usage from the SOC as the system would be able to do more things with itself.
TL;DR
Maybe I'm just ranting but having used basically the same-exact arm cortex tier from my OG nook I want more speed.
The not ereader is something that I want from a premium ereader(considering the costs that I'm paying for the system). Basically that's it, faster soc to improve the screen refreshes book loading etc.
