I also think eReader is a really bad idea on a device with a 6" or larger screen. The problem is the way eReader eBooks are formatted. Again we are trying to fit old technology onto new technology. eReader is formatted for small palm type screens. That may work fine there, but not on a decent sized screen. Can you imagine reading a book with line separators for each paragraph and no indents? That looks awful on my computer screen. And it will not look any better on a 6" or 9.7" screen.
Hmmm, it might just be because I got so very used to reading eReader books on my pda but I have some books on my Cybook formatted with double paragraph breaks and no indents. I find I quite like them as long as I go one font size smaller than I do on 'regular' books.
