So, I think the PL device is plenty big for most purposes.

Those are really good points Bob. Unfortunately, there is an internal margin to the screen as well. For example, on the Kindle the screen is 800x600 pixels but the text doesn't take up all that space. The actual space used to display books is only 640x525 which is even more than the margin on a typical page. Then again, I suppose if you were displaying a letter sized PDF that they could strip off most of the margin and also use the entire display area of the device -- since it's all done with software.
