I frankly don't understand how there are a dozen established e-reader companies all of which are obsessed with 6" devices. Bluntly speaking, it strikes me as utterly ignorant.  |
Very well put. 6" must just be a standard "book" size. I suppose the market they are going for are people who traditionally buy paper books for casual reading. They aren't interested in making something useful for professionals.
Same goes for all those smartphones.
It must be that the largest markets are non-professionals.
