Lee, note I said "paper-like" in my post above, rather than necessarily eInk.

Yes, we are disappointed, for all the reasons you state, but cling to the idea that somewhere down the line the economies of scale will allow a larger format device with a paper-like screen.

The solution may well come from the evolution of the iOS/Android devices, of course, if they inherit new screen technology, but we'd also want to see an accompanying reduction in weight and increase in battery life - and doubtless that will also happen. The future still looks pretty exciting, but it is disappointing that this bit of it's not here yet.
