Sounds great. For me the key factors all relate to managing a large ebook library.
Being able to load multiple ebooks in one go is essential - clicking and dragging hundreds of files one at a time is a nightmare. Calibre can apparently do this (it's a desktop library manager, not an actual reader though).
Secondly is managing the large list of titles on your phone. Touch screen scrolling is cute but it's a pain when you want to read "z for Zachariah" and you need to scroll all the way to the bottom of the list to find it. Bookz has an alphabetical list on the side of the screen (like the iPhone contacts directory) that let's you jump straight to a particular letter in you book list.
If you can produce an ebook program that can read multiple formats and solve these library management issues you'll be onto a winner.
