I don't feel quite so strongly about those things with regard to novels, but that's an extremely limited form of reading anyway. However, I think that speed and navigation are still major flaws with current ebook readers, even if only used for novels. Some people have low enough standards to accept or ignore those flaws, but not everyone is so tolerant towards expensive consumer technology.
Speed and efective navigation are important. I would also appreciate color but it's not available now so I won't moan about it. For the moment you have "black and white" e-ink, you take it or you leave it, and I prefer not to compromise it's quality with the touchscreen.

I don't know what kind of reading you prefer, I do mostly read novels so I guess my low standards are understandable. If I wanted a reader for technical documents, comics or newspapers or anything that required graphics or annotation I would have never bought my reader. As it is, I just don't see the need to complicate a gadget, giving it abilities I really don't require, and justifying even higher prices. But I understand other people with higher standards require something more sophisticated.
