I'm not agree with the thesi.
We all always want that non-digital, personal experience can be replicated in one of that beautiful technologic toys that we love to owe. But it is not possible.

The strenght of digital ebooks is portatibily of the informations. We want to read books, lot of books, on a simple, light, environment-like device. So a 6" more o less e-ink e-reader is the product we need.
For specialistic situations, as technical ebooks, or newspaper-like pubblications, a 10" o more e-reader is a must, but we lose portability, so it is a different product.
It don't exist an handy 12" ereader, because 12" ereader is not handy.

But if you want to feel the entire book experience, and if you want to capture all of the message that a book want to trasmit you, a *real* book is the right media for you, you will be never satisfied with a piece of plastic/metal.
