Maybe if it REALLY speeds up page turns etc. dramatically.

The refresh on my reader doesn't bother me in the least. If it goes away, fine. But if they came out with the same reader with NO blink for $100 less I wouldn't bother to buy it. That and more improvements will be in the next reader that I buy in 3 to 5 years.

I would probably like an iPhone to keep in my pocket to read on. But I like a larger screen. A large (7 to 11 inch) color screen would be great! But it has to be lighter than they are now. And they need to have an 8 to 10 hour battery life. And I don't mean like my tablet computer (2.5 pounds) where the REAL battery life is much shorter than the advertised battery life.
Back to my point.
" a thinner version of its e-book reader in August, and the new workout regiment will also enhance its screen sharpness and responsiveness."
Are there many Kindle owners that would give up their Kindle and pay $175 - 200 just to get those features now?
