This is the one thing that's been a deal-breaker for me with ereaders. I still love physical books and the interactivity with a laptop or desktop, but always saw ereaders as filling a gap neither really address, where you want to read material on a eink-style screen without worrying about the sun or batteries, but don't want to lug around a large number of texts.

However, for me reading material goes back and forth between relatively simple text and things that require pdfs, and I always had trouble with pdfs. They've never displayed correctly and have been ridiculously slow on top of it.

My dream ereader would have an eink display (preferably color but it's not a necessity for me to be happy with it) that is optimized around displaying technical pdfs, like math-heavy scientific articles with lots of images. If it could do that and display simple text well, I'd probably use it a lot, probably next to my laptop sometimes even.
