My take would be 300dpi as the starting point. More than 16 shades gray for eInk would also be a premium feature.
After that, I think it would come down to things like storage space, speed, screen size, etc., and a lot of that is very subjective. For example, if you don't read comic books, then 32GB is an insane amount of storage. If you want portable, you probably don't want a 10" screen.
It's far different from 10 years ago when you had to search hard for a reading device that could support more than basic CSS, or handle a wide variety of file formats. And, software like Calibre makes moving books from one ecosystem to another (e.g., Amazon to Kobo) fairly easy. So, I'd think that a more "premium" device today would be one that is built better, so that it can last longer and overall cost less to own.
