There are still things that can be done such as plastic backed screens for all devices, 32GB standard, 10.3" screen, the color light allowed to be whatever color the user wants, waterproof for all devices, faster processor, larger capacity battery, and more.

Larger, faster readers sound ideal for people who read graphic novels and comics. Since I don’t read those, I probably wouldn’t be tempted. A heavier battery and a 10.3” screen would make the reader less portable. My kindle is waterproof, and its 4GB holds twice as much as my whole library. It’s configuration has a good balance of features for me, since I read basic text, and like to take it out with me.
I do see why some people would like larger screens. But my point was just that at some point, new models won’t actually add to core the reading experience. They’ll just encourage consumerism through a policy of planned obsolescence.
