It has been made pretty clear over the years that 6" readers sell very well. Other sizes not so much. It has to do with portability.
I might be tempted if they added in page turn buttons and audio so that I could also play my music. However, the major problem that would exist for me is that I could no longer just put it in my pocket.
I can fit my Sony T-1 in my pocket if I remove it from its cover, but I'm not really comfortable doing that. I prefer that added layer of protection especially since I have dropped it a couple of times, and if it hadn't been in a cover it would have been destroyed.
Why did I drop it, because of the size and I misjudged the distance when I pulled it out of my bag. I've never done that with my mp3 player or Note 2 phone.
I like the fact that it is an open source and I would be able to load my favorite reader app on it. But I would then be back to lugging around two different devices...not good.
I wish him luck.
