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.

I started my e-reading with a PDA as well, in fact I still have many thousands
of .pdb ebooks. Your post is almost an advert for the 5" reflective TFT readers like the Ectaco Jetbooks and Aluratek Libre Pro. I like the Jetbook Lite
as it has a wide range of format support (including .pdb) and runs on 4ea AA
batteries. It fits in any large sized pocket even with its leather slip on cover.
Luck;
