Then again, it's good that I scroll ahead a page about every 20 Seconds, because Mobipocket doesn't take over the Keylock and Screendimmer that activates after 30 Seconds

It's a small screen, definitely nothing like the true Readers out there. But it'll keep up with any Palm, and since you're interested in converged devices, I suggest you take a look at a p1i in a store. I took a picture, and with the flash it really looks smudged, heh heh
That's not bad, considering.

I'm not interested in a converged device. I don't care for the fundamental compromise in form factor. I simply want a larger screen than a cell phone will have, because a large enough screen makes the phone too large. I have no problem carrying a phone and a PDA. All I need the phone to do is place and receive calls, and be able to share the address book with the PDA.

I'm not interested in a dedicated reader because I don't want to carry phone, PDA, and reader. I want my ebook viewer to do other things as well, and my PDA is a good compromise.

Any example of Mobi on my device is this, part of the contents of the Complete Works of Plato created for Mobi by HarryT:
