Folders
Available outside the US
SD card
More fonts with bold option
DRM from other sources (prefer no DRM but the reality is that it's here for the foreseeable future)

I don't get the whole 'add an SD slot' thing? Each Kindle has more internal memory compared to it's last model (200mb to 1.4GB to 3.3GB). You can fit a lifetime of novels on there or a good few days worth of comics (if you convert them to 16-gray).

I love how less than 8% of people want color as one of their top 3 choices. If you read Kindle reviews from the net (which are usually just people borrowing a Kindle for a week), they all seem to want color and never even mention the lack of folders/tags.

I don't care about the colors. That will drive the already ridiculous price up sky high. But I'm sure the cry for better contrast is being heard.

Most folks want better support for pdf and this should be of top priority. Folders and more flexible tagging system.
