People who want to read letter-sized PDFs or color magazines are going to need larger devices, and I think we'll see a growing number of tablets. I hope we don't lose the small, pocket-sized ereaders; I have no interest in "upgrading" to something I can't comfortably hold in one hand for an hour on a crowded train.
That is a valid requirement but I would like to get more text per page to maintain context and also be able to refer back more easily. Of course, this may also save some battery due to fewer page turns.
