To me, additional features to the Kindle are more important than removing DRM.
First priority:
I want to read Public Library eBooks - so I want support for ePub and PDF with Adobe Digital Editions DRM. I also want to read MobiPocket DRM. (Yes, I can do this all now myself through a variety of tools, scripts, and messing around)
Second priority:
I want the ability to checkout eBooks from the Public Library DIRECTLY using the Kindle and have them available to read with no other intervention.
Third priority:
I want the eBook industry to setup an Exchange where if I buy a different device, I can convert all the eBooks that I have purchased to the new format/new DRM scheme. It would be extra nice if this Exchange allowed sales and lending with the appropriate hooks to the eReading devices/Software. The reason I say this in an Amazon thread - is that Amazon could be one of the main drivers of the initiative.
