The user replaceable battery is important, but it needs to be a battery that is commonly available world-wide.

I think the formats it can render are essential. ePub, both secure and DRM-free is a must-have, plus as many more formats as possible. (Secure eReader would be nice but increasingly unimportant.)

There is no mention of ergonomics in the survey. The ergonomics on the Pocket Pro are what separate it from Sony's PRS300: you have easy to use page forward and page back buttons with tactile response to input. Good ergonomics like that are one of the things that make a particular reader easy to live with in the long run.

Your use of folders on the Pocket Pro are also important but it would be nice (just nice, not essential) if you also support pointers. With big SD cards it's easy to put a favorite book in multiple folders on the same SD card, making pointers less important, as long as size of data on the card doesn't slow down access to the book files.
