Rumors have it apple will come out with a mini iPad. Seems everyone is converging on 7". But this is the wrong direction. I want a bigger tablet, with a screen about the size of a comic TPB, around 6.6"x10.2" or 12" diagonal.

Comics look great on my iPad 3, in terms of colors and resolution, but I still wish the screen were BIGGER, so I can read a whole page comfortably, no zooming or navigating by panel. It'll be heavy and more expensive, but darn it, I want one. Of course it'll be better if it had a reflective screen, but color eink is still a long way away from being decent.

I guess it's a niche product. But there must be quite a few people out there who need to read full page PDFs, no?
