That was never the case with the iPod... though it was ok for reading stints of 30 minutes or so.

I get your point, but...

I would love to have a sturdy, impact resistant pocket size reader which I could carry with me at all times.
Then I would like to have another reader, light enough to hold conveniently in one hand with big enough screen that could provide for a pleasant reading experience similar to reading a pbook.
Thirdly, I would like an A4 size device for reading textbooks, pdfs, static web content.
With my budget I can't have them all. So this is where compromise comes in.
When I sum up the amount of time I spend reading on the move, the small device seems to be sheer luxury for me.
