plastic logic will be announcing at CES (jan 7??). Now that nook has not turned out so well, next meaningful competitor will be them (although they are supposedly going after a more business demographic). Amazon did respond with software update around time of nook announcement. maybe more software upgrades in jan/feb. Can't think of any "killer" hardware or software changes for me. Bunch of nice to haves:
- multitouch
- plug in memory card
- color (but only if eink or similar tech)
- faster switching from powersave state
- user configurable timeout period
- alt lock, sym lock capability
- search backwards from current loc in book
- export kindle metadata especially ISBN to excel ss
- folders
- folio view support -- esp for non contig pages
- email notification when titles avail on kindle
- "save for later" with price totalling in kindle cart
- see everything on your kindle from internet -- not just stuff purchased from amazon
- in menus on kindle scrolling off the top should scroll around to bottom
- a "print to kindle" function
- put prices on kindle wishlist items
- rename/delete items while on the kindle
- auto wireless off after user configuable timeout value
- better browser
