The big problem is that 7" tablets aren't pocketable in ordinary pockets --- but they do fit in most pants cargo pockets, and one can get shirts which have pockets large enough to hold them (or have the shirts tailor-made) --- but how many people are willing to do these things? Is it a sufficiently large market? Especially when one subtracts the number of people w/ a cell phone who won't be willing (or need) to carry another device?

mldavis2 point about the size of the print area in a paperback is a cogent one --- high-density displays on cell phones make them much more useable for such reading.
