I agree with the form factor concern but the future belongs to other displays such as roll-up/fold-out, heads-up projection, or direct mental projection.
Depends on what day it is. On a Saturday when I have nothing planned? No, I won't answer the phone if I'm reading. I'm busy, they can leave a message.

Turning off my phone/email/etc so I can read makes no sense whatsoever. That's a little silly, in fact. That's why I do NOT mix my ereader with my cell phone. My phone is to make and receive phone calls. My ereader is to read books. I also carry a dedicated camera. Why? Because cell phone cameras suck and if I'm bothered enough to take a picture I want to take a good picture.
