Yep and with that comes the struggle to balance battery life with weight and heat, two things that make a device much less viable as a stand-in for a book. Personally, I'm more interested in Pixel Qi's new screen technology. If it's all they say it is, that would make a great reader as well as a netbook or tablet. If Apple uses that (or something else new and surprising) I'll be all over it.
