My Wish list is pretty short.

Direct Folder access. IE I turn it on and it shows me the "books" directory in the root of the Memory Card I can then navigate where I wish.

Direct PDB support. ie drop some PDB's on the memory card and read them natively.

Thats about it. I already have native pdf txt and rtf support with no sony software needed. (One of the few things sony did right with a product)

Sony did two things with this reader that I HOPE will result in them being rewarded. SD support and Native direct file format support. On something like a book reader SD support is not super critical but its a good gesture to consumers. Open File access was critical otherwise it would be doomed to failure.

I would be so happy with those two features supported :-) (Native PDB and Folder Access)
