Yes! Oh, yes, I want a large-screen e-reader! There are some very old books on Google Books in PDF format that I have downloaded to read that would be so much easier to read on an ereader.
While it's easy to say "what you want is books" - for me it's "what I want is the information / content of the book."
For instance, I once requested one of the books I now have in PDF from GB. The book arrived at the univ lib and I could only read it there, not take it home. The book itself was very large - as thick as Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix and maybe twice the height and width - making it uncomfortable to read anywhere but with it on a table and me in an uncomfortable wooden library chair.
How much nicer to read that same book with a less-than-a-pound large e-reader?
Yeah, I want books. I want what's in them. That's their raison d'être, unless they are art pieces.
