I agree with da_jane in part. Also for such reading, the size (that can fit into a shirt pocket) is important for that type of reading whenever you get a moment.
That said, I am anxiously awaiting my Sony Reader so I can have 1) a larger screen, & 2) be able to read in bright sunlight.
For me an ideal reader would have all three characteristics, a light, small size, large screen that can be read in sublught. How about a roll up scroll type screen that would fit in a pocket, roll out to a nice size with optional light?
