Actually, it's the aspect ratio of the screen that bugs me. The screen resolution is 480x320 so that's an aspect ratio of 3:2. Most videos are either 4:3, 16:9 or 2.35:1. The PSP (480x270) has a standard 16:9 aspect ratio.

I can see how this might be a difficulty with the iPod Touch. You're not guaranteed wifi access wherever you are so you need to keep content on the device prior to leaving home. Since I have an iPhone, though, it becomes less of an issue. I can browse and download content from my library and from sites hosting public domain works anytime and anywhere I have wireless service. With content so easily and readily available, having to sync the "eBook reader" via USB actually becomes tedious.
