Apple's new "Retina" screen is so sharp that its size does not seem to matter. All I have to do is fit a pair of reading glasses, which I'd have to wear anyhow and fire up the iPod. It is 'clearly' superior to my Sonys in clarity, sharpness and versatility. I can read any format from any source on the iPod. --- It is the superior reading device, excluding battery charge intervals which is no problem for most of us.

If Apple were to present us with a 7" version of the iPod Touch ------.

The Sonys are better only in direct sunlight and, being a book person, I rarely see that ;o)

If Y'all are truly open to change, you might go check-out the iPod Touch; it is a remarkable device.

BTW: I am no Apple fan. But, they have 'done it right' both from the standpoint of hardware and their inclusiveness regarding ebook formats.
