I have a desire for a 9" reader for academic work (surprised this market hasn't been broken into given the number of students in schools and teachers/lecturers).

Silly thing is I think the Kindle DX is damn close. IMHO it needs to add functionality such as cropping of PDF files; provision to have open multiple files and just rotate between them. Throw a SD card slot and USB port (to allow plugging in a thumb drive) and I think it would be there (for my academic needs anyway).

Anyway, just my 2 cents on what I want my next ereader to function as.
