Personally, I use the Reader for reading, and my iPod for music and audio books. Each is the perfect tool for the job. I know I can play MP3 files on my Reader and read eBooks on my iPod, but that's not what either was really designed for.

I bought the Reader to more or less replace my iPod. I don't have a lot of music (maybe 1GB) and being able to read and listen to music at the same time was one of the reasons I bought it. I think at least a "random" feature would be a nice addition. Also, when a song title starts with "A" or "The" it should really go off of the first letter of the next word. And I'm way too lazy to go through and change the Title property of my songs to start with the Artist name.
