Well, I kept it very non-specific, but some advances which would make my wallet burn are a good dual-screen system, wireless without the power drain, a big screen with excellent battery life and sturdiness, color, animation (high refresh rate), to name just a few off the top of my head, and that is not taking into account whatever exciting new hardware and ideas will become reality in the next five or ten years.
I do agree with you in general terms though, although I would point out this large list of reader hardware mentioned in your profile...
