I wish for Xmas:
-Nook Firmware update to speed things up a bit. Though it is more than usable right now (version 1.0 firmware out of the box), a little speed up would be nice.
-Software you could run on your home computer that would send stuff to your Nook over your local WiFi network (books, document, music, etc), maybe it would also let you delete stuff/manage files on your nook and do ePub conversions for you. I think they could even sell this as a "premium service" if it was good enough.
-Better battery life (see firmware upgrade), seems like it's burning through juice pretty darned fast with WiFi on. Maybe it should default to shutting off WiFi when it's not needed and only check actively for a connection unrequested intermittently. Anyone observe behavior like this yet? Seems like if I have WiFi on, it's on all the time.
-the ability to email documents (with automated conversion to ePub)to your Nook sort of like Kindle's Whispernet (I think that's what they call it). It'd be nice to be able to email yourself word documents, text documents, captured HTML pages, etc. I think Kindle charges by the MB for this service, not sure if it's a money maker but it's an added revenue stream.
-Ability to set your own RSS feeds to be sent to your Nook, I think the Kindle can do this (but Amazon charges extra for it).
-Ability for the Nook to remember font/text size preferences per book.
-Get rid of the extra "Read" prompt when you've selected a book to read, you can show the detail information during the inherent delay while the book is formatting in the background automatically.
-Ability to change fonts/text sizes in the stuff that shows up in the Daily section.
-Longer than 1 hour of reading/browsing time while using free Wireless in a BN store.
-and hoping beyond hope...a rudimentary Web Browser or RSS reader.
Otherwise, I'm really digging this thing. It's a nice step up on my trusty PRS-500 which was getting a bit long in the tooth.
