I've found benefits in having multiple eBook reading devices. When I'm reading at home or on an airplane, I normally use my eBookWise. But I always keep my Palm in my pocket. When I'm alone at a restaurant, waiting for a doctor's appointment, waiting for the bus, or standing at the door because my wife is still getting dressed, I can take out the Palm, read a few pages, and then slip it back in my pocket.
There's something to be said for a device small enough that you can always have it with you.
I find I quickly get used to differences in screen size. I can read a book on the Palm as quickly as in paper. (The eBookWise is slightly faster).
I agree that the point of eReading is not the device, it's the reading. Whatever works for people is good. This month's perfect solution is next year's old hat.
