I really believe that e-book device should surpass paper book reading experience in order to be successful. The two features that would do the trick for me are search and dictionary lookup. As already mentioned, what the search should do depends also on a book.
Fiction: list of occurrences with few rows of text before and after each occurrence with option to jump to the prev/next page of the results. In case of the Sony Reader, the numbered buttons should be used to jump to a specific result (full page). If jumped to the full page viewing of a specific result, I would like an option to jump to the full page viewing of the previous/next result, back to the results list or back to the original page viewed before the search was requested.
Non-fiction: as above + wildcards, relations and just about anything remotely meaningful when searching through a text.
