With the Galaxy Note 2 debuting today at IFA, maybe this refresher is appropriate.

Samsung Electronics has sold 10 million Galaxy Notes in the past nine months, according to Younghee Lee, head of global marketing for the conglomerate's mobile division.
Lee made the comment in the middle of Samsung's unveiling of the Galaxy Note 10.1 today in New York. The company previously said it sold 5 million 5.3-inch Galaxy Notes in five months.
The Galaxy Note sold well despite skepticism that the device was too big to serve as a phone, and too small to work as a tablet. Many had taken to calling it a "phablet."
Samsung, however, was attempting to create a new market with a tweener product that bridged the tablet and phone, and it has apparently succeeded.

How good is this 5.3 inches phone/tablet (or phablet) as an ereader? For a size comparison:
Kindle Keyboard is 6 inches. 5.3" is not far off.
The Galaxy Note 2 is debuting today at IFA. Rumor has it that it will have a 5.5" screen.
