Absolutely they could. As to why they didn't ... well, they probably read some of the infinite (well almost) rantings in the Sony Reader forum about how bad an A4/Letter sized page (~13" diagonal) looks when it's scaled down to a 6" diagonal display. All you can see is the formatting -- you pretty much can't read it unless the original font was ridiculously huge, or you have microscopic vision.

If you want to get an idea for yourself, try taking a regular page and shrinking it on a copier 'til it's 6" diagonal, you'll see what I'm talking about.
