Wow, I never even thought of the first item you pointed out. For something you paid ~$350 for, you figured there'd be a place to indicate who it belongs to. Perhaps getting it engraved might be a resolution, but since it is flash-upgradable, hopefully $ony will heed this request and add this as an option (most PDA's and phones have this feature, and it doesn't take up that much memory).

Your second item is also a much requested theme, but one that could not be successfully implemented in real-time due to the nature of eInk. They could have a little clock in the corner that updates with each page change, but among other things, it might reduce the battery life by a little bit.

Great observation & suggestion!
