Well, most smartphones aren't that tiny any more. My own is 5", as large as the smaller E-ink readers. However, both smartphones and tablets are 16:9 and thus too narrow compared to books and ereaders, which are 4:3.

That may not be an issue for some (or perhaps most), but it is for me. I tried reading on my phone, but went back to my Aura HD pretty quick, although I have read lots of books on my phones/PDAs pre-2007 (when I bought my first E-ink reader, a Bookeen Cybook Gen3). Then again, that was before smartphones went 16:9 as well, I suddenly realize
