instead of falling out because it only has slots on one side.
On-Off swith should be on the front of the unit.

I have a 32 GB SD card installed, and almost 800 books already there, with many more to come. When a 64 GB SD card becomes available as announced, I will upgrade to that. With a limited 1.5 GB internal memory all that is available, I would overflow that immediately, and lose books I already have bought and paid for. This is a real Bummer!!! Why remove something that is already there — it’s enough to add new features, but they should not remove features already out their and in use by their customers.

I would like larger screen, and hopefully a higher resolution one. Someday I expect color, using the same technology as now not requiring battery power except to change it. I would also like a much better catalog system, using hierarchical entries to allow many similar books to be under a higher level catalog name, reducing the number of entries in the first level catalog.
