The list is very helpful. However, I'd like to suggest another field. I'd like to differentiate between books without sketches or images (e.g. Project Gutenburg) and ones where sketches or images are included. There are times when a sketch or B&W image (even if original is color) is needed along with the text. For example, I recently downloaded a free version of DaVinci's notebook. Although the text is interesting the book does not include any of his sketches. I know the Sony 700 ebook that I own is capable of displaying both. Another example of a fiction book are the Conan stories written by Ron Howard. The books I read in my youth contained a few simple B&W sketches throughout the book and an ebook would seem incomplete to be without them.
I would pay (extra) for certain books that include images and conversely I may decide not to download a free book that does not include sketches or images.

Does anyone have any comments or similar thoughts?
