Exchangeable battery (with a separate charger) is very important to me!! For mp3 player it would be a must!! I'm also a long time user of pda, phone, dc, digital recorder, and many other 3c products, and I hate to wait for the recharging, it is really inconvenient and a bother! If the rechargeable battery is the common sort that can be easily bought in the store would be best.

In addition to exchangeable battery with separate wall-charger. I would prefer my next E-Reader to have:

1. B/W e-ink/e-paper reader (8-16 gray scale), at least 1-2GB internal storage/memory space with 16-32GB SD/miniSD/microSD support

2. format support: pdf, txt, epub, htm/html, lit, doc/docx/rtf, prc/pdb, as many as possible.

3. easy to use (I hate to "study" manual before I can read/turn page/search/organize/browsing...), so with some important buttons you should put recognizable symbols denoting the function/usage. #1-#8 is just too ambiguous to me.

4. the button shouldn't be spaced too tightly (mp3/mp4 usually has this kind of user-unfriendliness).

5. lightweight (for a 6" EReader, better be less than 200g)

6. easy to use in-text dictionary (English-English) support

7. protective cover included (a plus)

8. touch screen (not necessarily as long as I can search/check dictionary easily with the sticks/buttons) with a stylus

9. note taking/hi-lighter/note-hilight eraser function (a plus)

8. supporting Traditional Chinese character/coding

Most of all: battery and user-friendliness!
