For me, things that would be nice to have are:
wifi that works with eduroam/govroam
an accessible sd card slot like the older models
seamless link through to wikipedia via word highlight
sheet music page background in basic notebook
configurable auto page turning
The first 2 of these seem to be tied up with Kobo's throttling of pdf use: it's like they simply don't want students/academics to use their devices, and I can guess why that is. But students become, or indeed are already, over 50 with poor eyesight like the rest of us! It's a good market to tap into as they are already reading. Making things affordable, easy and legal, might be a better way to avoid piracy IMHO.
