I've considered that Unified Device Solution myself. There are only two things holding me back.
The first is that I inhabit the Apple ecosystem. Sure, I have a couple of eInk devices, but frankly, that's just because Apple doesn't make one. Even with a UDS, I'd still need to have a computer & a 10 inch tablet, or a laptop, so any UDS would have to be comAppleable, at least for my purposes.
The second is that LCD devices tire my eyes. Yes, yes, I know that in theory they can be adjusted &c &c &c, but in practice, eInk is simply easier to read for extended periods in most environments. YMMV.
Now, the first reason is only persuasive for those who are all Mac'd up. And the second one doesn't matter, because nobody seems to care about making an LCD device which can switch to eInk when needed (my understanding is that this is technologically possible).
So with these practical (for me) limitations, I agree that the Note has hit the sweet spot for a UDS. The upcoming iPhone will stretch the screen a little, & I'll probably get one for that reason (plus it's my turn to get a new device under our family's "every-other-generation" plan). But in terms of being a UDS, it won't be as good as the Note.
