I'll grant you that folks looking for a color LCD tablet primarily for reading might be interested.
I would be buying it as a browser, not a reader - and I'd prefer a 7" device. I'm not saying that there's a right answer, just that the market will decide on the best form factor, and I'm not convinced that the current iPad size will win out (of course, it might).
