Our discussion on E-books touched on many small, user concerns that were limiting uptake: backlighting that doesn't tire the eyes, that "book feel", highlighting/ note-taking capability etc. The latest advancement is page numbers (H/T Lifehacker). Users love improvements to a product they already own (particularly with the ease of downloading a softward update), but could the piecemeal nature of these advancements actually preclude momentum? Compare Kindle's software updates to the Steve Job's approach of dramatically unveiling a new product that solves all the problems with the previous model and caters to those needs-you-didn't-even-know-you-had. Jobs certainly gets more press coverage...
