More memory.
Page turn buttons. Books in Archive listed in collections so I can find them to redownload. Compatible with Calibre Companion. Don't really need fonts, line spacing, ect changes. Don't know why they wouldn't. It can't be hard to impliment. Don't need waterproofing more than enough to hold up if it's drizzling. |

What I'd really like is to get rid of a bunch of features that add to cost and slow the device.
No light. No 3G or Wi-Fi. Manage books by usb and calibre. No dictionary or internal searching of books so no indexing to slow things down. I would like compatibility with Calibre Companion and enough memory to hold my entire library. With Calibre I wouldn't need collections to find my books. A SD slot would be nice I really don't need bells and whistles just a really efficient device to manage and read my entire library. |

I've gotten so used to the 2400 characters a page I've set for Count Pages, that I can now instantly see how 'thick' an e-book is, and I can immediately estimate the time a book will take me to read. 2400 makes my e-books mostly ~10-15% 'thinner' than standard paperbacks, as Count Pages does obviously not take whitespace into account, while it would lower the average number of characters per page. If I had to do it again, I'd use 2200. Ah well, it would only make the books look thicker, and I'm now used to 2400, so I'll leave it at that ![]() |

Thus, it is possible to do that for the Kindles. |

A flush screen will only increase the gap between the top layer and actual eink screen. The front lights have to be squeezed in between somewhere, right? If they go for flush screen, they'll be sacrificing clarity for style while adding nothing. I hope the lab geeks are strong enough to say no to this. |

I think he's hoping for a return of the 2006-2007 era readers...

- physical buttons (my number one wish by far!)
- better definition - possibility to sideload fonts - finer tuning of line spacing and font and margin sizes |

For me :
- Perfectly even lighting, though that is already the case with my 1st gen Paperwhite. - Higher resolution. - 7" display. |

I'm simply looking for a cover that will 1) work with the touch screen, 2) that is not either a glorified plastic bag or an armored fort like the expensive waterproof case. I'm trying to protect it from spills, sand, etc. at the pool or beach, not go swimming with it. |

I would like a higher resolution screen and the ability to darken the fonts. A better margin adjustment would be nice as well.

Yet again, Kobo has beaten Amazon to the punch when it comes to superior Reader hardware.
What I'd have liked to have seen hardware wise in a new Kindle, has just been done with the Kobo Aura H20. |
