The document discusses the key elements needed for an e-reader device or software to become the "Kindle killer". It analyzes the building blocks of the e-reading user experience: 1) the ecosystem of available content and shopping experience, 2) the device itself and demands for better displays, 3) the reading software and need for standards, and 4) the digital book and layout/typography. Overall, the document advocates that fully integrating these components is still a far hope as platforms drift apart, but that the future of digital books remains promising with innovations in apps, HTML5, and social reading features.
