Good list.

You can turn off the Home Screen altogether, which is what I do.

3) An automatic "in progress/reading" collection

I would not opt for a Collection, it is too cumbersome.
We have Read and Unread filters currently, they could add Started and perhaps Not Started (Unread would include both), and you would select from one of those.

4) Ability to turn off touch screen controls for devices with page buttonsl

Others have answered this. I am neutral, don’t have any page button Kindles

5) More intuitive collection creation on device
|
You would need to elaborate on this. What are your use cases?

6) Customized screen saver setting with "If found please contact" information banner under book cover
|
How would the screen saver know you cannot find the Kindle in order to display such a message? And I at least would not want that to be the default screen saver. Kindle’s are not always connected devices so there’s generally not going to be a way to push a message to them when they’re lost where you can usually do that with a smartphone.
What might work is to have some option when you have set a passcode to have a message of your choice when the passcode entry form is up ‘if found contact xxxx’.
There is a Personal Info thing you can type in, but I don’t know where that would show up or why it is there. You could put contact information there, but nobody is going to find it.

9) Consolidation and de-"Fisher-Price"-ing of menus and controls

They have done some of this. But inconsistencies remain.

10) A finished, non-experimental browser
|
Without more capable hardware there is no point. Most websites these days (quite reasonably) expect robust JavaScript support and a reasonably fast CPU to render, and no longer provide low bandwidth version. Wikipedia is the exception, and the browser does as well as it ever has with it.
