Extra page turning buttons would be nice and probably possible given a firmware upgrade to turn specific right hand side buttons into page turners (would have to sacrifice being able to go to a specific page such as 88, 78 etc lol). A dictionary function would be impossible with a firmware/software upgrade (you would either need a hard/soft keyboard, touchscreen/tactile screen with highlight function, or a reader able to go directly into the text to highlight with arrow keys for a dictionary function...none of which the 300 has capabilities for) I could care less about a memory expansion slot, plus I am pretty sure battery life is shortened with external memory as it takes more juice to read from it. Also updated firmware such that the 300 can do whatever the current renderer for epubs can do i.e. fully justified epubs etc.
