I voted no, but I wouldn't call it "silly". I read on Palm-sized devices for years before I got my first Kindle. I think the problem is that if you want something pocketable, you also want it to do more than just display books. I could do all kinds of things with my Palm TX.

I think people justify carrying Kindles and Nooks around because the screens are easier to read on, and you can read them more like books. The advantage of having a nice, clear e-Ink screen isn't as pronounced if you shrink it down to handheld size.
