Just as an FYI I had a support ticket for some processing speed issues and was able to get this out of one of the tech people:

"Also, can you tell me if the upcoming firmware updates will cover any of the following or if it is even planned to be looked at at some point in the future?

1. Overall database optimization (faster Processing of new files, better cleanup of removed content to prevent unrestriced growth, etc.)
We will investigate your the processing time you describe to understand if it can be optimized. No other changes are planned at this time.

2. The ability to Delete the local copy of a book on the device itself once you are done with it
Not in the next update however this is functionality that we are planning on supporting in the next 3-6 months.

3. Reading lists to divide up your Books into more manageable sub-categories
Similarly, not in the next update however this is functionality that we are planning on supporting in the next 3-6 months.

4. The ability to jump to a specific page in a Book rather then just by chapter
Similarly, not in the next update however this is functionality that we are planning on supporting in the next 3-6 months.

5. Support for Hyperlinks in ePUB files, ie. dynamic TOC links, reference links, etc.
Similarly, not in the next update however this is functionality that we are planning on supporting in the next 3-6 months.

6. The ability to Re-Flow a PDF rather the the Pan & Zoom method
Similarly, not in the next update however this is functionality that we are planning on supporting in the next 3-6 months.

7. Additional Document support (.doc, .txt, .cbr, .cbz, etc.)
We have no plans to support other document types.

8. The ability to either set the Off screen to Blank, or a manual picture
We have no plans to allow the customization / configuration of the off screen.

9. Auto Power Off
Yes this is included in the next planned release.

10. The ability to remove some of the Pre-installed books and the ability to remove items from the I'm reading page
The ability to remove pre-installed books is not in the next update however this is functionality that we are planning on supporting in the next 3-6 months.
