I agree with most of what has been said here with regards to preferring a dedicated reader vs an xPAD.

My wants are predicated on what my Kindle has taught me.

WiFi in addition to 3G would be great, hooking up the USB cable to transfer downloaded ebooks is a pain. The ability to connect wireless to my home network would be great.

For the most part I find the Kindle to be ergonomically excellent and see no reason to change much.

The ability to change meta data would be cool since many of the ebooks I have have poorly constructed meta data.

The ability organize ebooks via many criteria is critical whether organized by meta data or by folders.

The ability to read many different ebook formats is also critical and the ability to access public libraries would be nice.

I've found that internet access from the Kindle was not of much value to me so far. (three times in the last year other than demonstrating the ability to folks)
