How can 13.3'' be too large? If you state - and I agree - that 10.3'' is adequate for PDF, well 13.3'' is just double. So, 2 pages vs 1 page = paradisiac jumping on fields in springtime in slow motion... ( = most welcome and useful bonus)

Absolutely, 150dpi is a legacy justifiable just because they could not get it better originally. It is the same for any format, it is just more taxing on the fixed layout of a PDF

Noi clear: "enhancing reading and text management capabilities" is given by them being "tablet style gadgets". There is no software around to give you "parallel referencing of multiple documents"? And what do you mean with "multitasking", given that it is already part of the Operating System? Those "reading devices" are tablets already!
