I have coordination issues and haven't been able to use touch devices such as newer e-readers and tablets. It's possible that settings to disable more gestures, stylus devices, and/or overlays with holes can help. But I have coordination issues and tendon issues and can't use the one stylus device I've tried, because it required users to use a button near the nib, to operate the stylus...

In the meantime I use an older Kindle Dx. I got it cheap, and apparently damaged.

Increasing reliance on pdfs, incompatible versions using jpeg-2000 for extra compression, and slow-t-run versions are problems for me.

I work around the 2nd issue by pre-processing all pdfs in either k2opt or ghostscript.

I have instructions to test for the 3rd issue using wxdemo. But I have a strobe sensitivity and other visual processing issues, and can't see around blinding cursors, and can't see in wxdemo code windows, so I am at a bit of an impasse.

For purely technological changes, I'd like to see a new generation of button + keyboard devices, further improvements in ocr, and better support for older or non-standard orthographies.
