My "must haves":

1. Support for pictures in RTF files. There are many books for which pictures are an essential element, and many more which are greatly enhanced by them.

2. A rapid method of going to a specific page. This should not be difficult to implement, given the fact that the "number keys" can already be used for entering a password if you enable "screen lock". In a large book, the "moving through by 10ths" can still leave you hundreds of pages away from the desired location.

Lower priority:

1. Text searching. This would require the use of an on-screen "virtual keyboard" which would obviously be more effort.

2. Support for HTML files. This would be a great help. I know you can easily enough convert HTML to RTF, but you lose the hyperlinks by doing that. Hyperlinks make things like "Contents" pages a lot easier to implement.
