The Kindle should have two more things that are extremely easy to add to the hardware:
1. An alarm clock
2. An RFID chip turned on and off by a button similar to the existing two buttons.
With an RFID chip in it the Kindle could have a huge range of abilities by connecting nearby RFID reading beacons with marketing channels on the Internet. So if you use the Kindle when buying things (which I definitely do, since I can do quick internet research on it), the RFID chip would allow the marketing guys to offer you coupons, special offers, etc. as you move around the store.
I keep the Kindle within three feet of me practically 24/7, so why not add functions like this?
And for the privacy police who hate and fear RFID chips...Duck! I think I just saw a low-flying black helicopter!
Oh, wait, you can't see them. It must have been my imagination diluting my sense of reality.
