That's a very good point.
It is the combination of the pixel density and the size of the screen that defines my "perfect form factor", too. All technologies, both eInk and variations on the LCD/LED theme, with the notable exception of new retina displays on iPhones/iTouches (and I haven't seen those in bigger form factor), have a room for improvement.
Once the pixel density hits 300dpi, the target is a device big enough to cope with A4/letter sized PDF's. And that's ideal form factor for my reader. I am ready to sacrifice mobility over the (needed) functionality, and I don't see letter-sized PDF's disappearing as a target media for tech specs any time soon.
