If you want to make it an ipod of the book world, then you need to understand why the ipod is a success:
1) Reasonably priced songs with minimal drm
2) Can use the owners existing mp3 collection without having to convert them.
3) Connects seamlessly with the owners computer and allows drag + drop file transfer.
So the next Sony Reader needs to drop silly proprietaty formats and be able to display pdf/html/chm/rtf/word files without conversion. And it has to be three clicks to buy, download and transfer a $4.99 bestseller to your Sony Reader.
Do that and you'll make a fortune. How do we convince Sony, etc, to do it...?
