Take the current iliad. Give it proper battery management so it has the battery life of the sony. Get rid of the big bezel on the bottom.(should look like mostly screen, but enough to hold it). Keep that flip bar, good idea. Get rid of the wireless etc and other stuff that wastes battery. Make the bezel around the edges clear plastic and light it, so the page has decent even lighting. Not buttons except the flip bar, switch for backlighting, and power. Make it a touchscreen. Give it a decent UI (just read books, and do it well). As modern an E-ink screen as possible. Give it a SD slot. Give the option of folder view. Let it read most any format anyone could want(this is so easy for a team of devs, come on)

Done. I could use a device like this forever. I just want a device, like a book, that I can use to read books without thinking about the UI or what i'm doing, just read and lose myself.
