I am not unhappy with my current readers form factor and use any number of mine every day. Still I'm disappointed with the failure of the industry to provide an device large enough to read books which absolutely have to have a 11" or larger screen or the device becomes an impediment to the purpose of the book itself so all you think about is trying to manage the device not absorbing the content. I don't care if it is a gray scale display as long is it's giving me the size to shot images inline w/o needing to zoom or any of that other annoying crap the current devices consider acceptable. I know that is a big polarized but it's how I see my individual needs long term or if I am to say invested in the ebook market. I just see no reason to keep buying expensive devices and paying top dollar for ebooks when I can buy used or remaindered versions of the same books for pennies on the dollar. For that I can read them and give them away like I always have, I only keep my reference books. So unless the device makers start making these things worth my investment I, and I suspect more than a few others, will just return to print books, it is that simple.
More to my point, I know the arguments pro and con, but we are talking about what makes an acceptable device here and for me that is a small reader as well as a large screen device which I would prefer be color but can live with gray scale.
