I can tell you I read on my phone 4" and nook 7" screens with one hand all the time.
Touch screen is negotiable; 20 hours of reading time is not. If I have to plug it in every night, it's not what I want. (Could cope with it. I don't have to, so I'm not looking at anything that I can't use for a few days without recharging.)

And the Android device supports all the formats under the sun.
All in one app? I don't want to jump between programs trying to remember which one reads what books. I currently have epubs, pdfs, rtfs, and txt files on my Sony. I would love to also have HTML files; I get annoyed that I have to convert those before using them. I want to be able to scroll through lists of all my ebooks at once, not "all the epubs" and then "all the pdfs" on a different app; that's my main reason (aside from battery) for not seriously considering any of the Android devices. (Which seem lovely, and I might want one. Just not as an ebook reader.)
