There is no right or wrong way to read books, the sooner people get that through their heads and live and let live the better off everyone will be.
I certainly wasn't trying to complain or or make negative comments about the way people read. I frankly don't care enough about how others read to complain about it. I was simply pointing out that the article was conflating two different things.

Besides ... 5.5 inches is getting into that murky phablet area where there's really no point in owners/users excluding themselves from the "reading on a tablet" crowd. You're reading on a small tablet that has a phone built into it (and there's absolutely nothing wrong with that).

So yes... I stick to my original claim that I believe people who ARE reading on cellphones (meaning smaller, non-tablet-ish smartphone devices) for convenience and portability would like it if their smaller screen could magically poof out into a larger size that would display more text at once.

Clearly, those who are reading on nearly reader-sized cellphones can feel free to exclude themselves from my sweeping generalization.
