4. Library compatible - not every book I read I want to keep forever.
5. Virtual keyboard
6. More versitiliity with fonts. There are times when I would just like to be able to make it a little darker - bold.
7. Wireless capability. Never thought wireless downloading was that important, but it is amazing how much I miss it on my ipod. I actually have bought a book at the airport, after being inspired by tne airport bookstore.
8. Ability to buy a sturdy cover - I don't suppose eledctronics will ever be strong enough to drop them on the concrete train platform, but my ipod case protects my ipod, and my kindle case has protect my kindle.
See, not that much. That color book browsing on the nook is sure nice, though. If it had #1, I would be there.

1. Everyone wants folders! Are the manufacturers listening?
2. Replaceable battery is a big one, although as someone else said, the batteries should be non-propitiatory.
3. I don't need an SD card, as all my books are backed up on my computer, but it could be nice for long trips, I suppose.
4. I'd like to have a copy of everything I've read, but some books are way too expensive. A library function would be nice.
5. A better keyboard than what my K2 has would be a big plus, whether virtual or physical.
6. More versatility with fonts would be nice, though so far I've been perfectly satisfied with the stock font and the ability to change its size on my Kindle.
7. Wireless capability. Yes! Got along without you before I met you, but that's as far as I can go with that tune. Wireless rocks.
8. I don't understand why you're so impressed with the Nook's color browsing. It's pretty to look at, but the LCD screen seems to me to be just an additional unnecessary drain on the battery. What
would be nice is color e-ink for reading. Not every book needs it, of course, but books with color illustrations would benefit. In particular, books that use color-coding in their text are completely unsuitable for the current gray-scale e-ink readers. Color e-ink would be a deal-clincher, but from all indications the technology is still years away.
