Isn't that what we really want, a big screen that will do EVERYTHING, text, magazine layout and full color?
Personally, no. I want a paperback-book size device for reading, well, paperback books on. I don't want something A4 sized; it's too big to carry around with you all the time, and an LCD screen that size is probably going to have a very short battery life.

This isn't a "one size fits all" market - that's very important to realise. You may want a big colour screen, but I don't. There's room in the market for devices with a number of different form factors.
