After a few rounds of filling up my wooden bookshelf & stashing away old books to make way for new, I bought a Kindle. I’ve read more books in recent days than I used to read a few months ago.

Not discounting the novelty factor of the new Kindle, I definitely can see the convenience it brings - portability, long battery life, easy on the eyes display and the ability to quickly find something that suits the mood of the hour. I can see why e-books are outselling Printed books at Amazon.

Said all that, there is a lot of ground to be covered by e-book readers and e-book publishers. Here are some of the things I wish will improve in the future:

1. I wish my kindle was much quicker - I want to turn pages as quickly as I’d turn in a normal book.

2. All published e-books are not on par with their printed counterparts, (light fonts, bad images etc.)

3. I wonder why I cant choose the music/songs I want to play? Is it hard to give some basic play list management, display of the song being played and the ability to move back & forth between music files?

4. It may be too much to ask for but, a touch screen display would be lovely.

5. E-Ink in color would have brought alive my books of birds, animals and children’s books.

But I still Love my Kindle and I can imagine the future to be brighter.
