None of the features already mentioned in this thread would make me run and buy a new e-book reader in 2010. However, if anybody creates a device that can have the following, I am the first one to buy it:
- A foldable screen (eg. two 6" screens creating one reading space after unfolding)
- An authentic quote/note feature. What I mean is a feature that enables to create a user quote/note set. This feature has been implemented in some Bible study programs and I find it really useful for study/research purposes. By "quote" I mean that one can select some text and with just one click append it to their note file (together with automatically generated reference). Obviously, this note file would have to be easily transferrable to the PC as text or RTF.
- Multiformat (DRMed PDF, Mobipocked, eReader and ePub as a minimum set)
- Either a touchscreen with handwriting recognition/software keyboard or some other usable form of text input. Most of existing devices impede rather than aid any text input. Writing a pencil note in a dead-tree book is so much faster...
