* Screen: Carta 1200, so better contrast than the A7. No screen protector needed like on the Hisense devices. This aspect bugs me to no end on both the A5 Pro and A9. And I'm interested to see the new refresh technology in action.
* Should be usable without a case. My A9 is slippery and has sharp corners, so it's not usable without the official case. The case is quite good, but it adds bulk.
* SD card slot to store a lot of audio for offline access.
* Better integration with reading apps - full screen refresh on page turns in Neoreader, Koreader and Alreader X. There is a workaround using Tasker (see XDA thread on rooting the A9), which works quite well. But I'd rather have it supported in the apps themselves for faster realization.

I've exhausted my budget for this year, but it will be my next purchase as soon as I can. Everything I've seen of the device, except its price, has appealed to me (including the fact that it's "only" an e-reader and not a phone). I'll keep an eye out for your impressions.
(A couple of weeks ago they added support for KOReader).
