K2's display resolution is fine for most 'linear text' and it's not clear to me that I need more. I have a slight desire to display two-column, dual-language text (e.g. French in one column, English translation in a section), but that could be done almost adequately even on K2 if you could change to landscape orientation, which could be done in software. But I don't consume many newspapers, magazines, or textbooks, and have learned that I can live without PDF on a reading device, so a larger display seems a case of 'more is less' at first glance.
What would pry my K2 from my cold, dead fingers? That's hard to say. A slightly larger, similarly priced, iPod Touch (maybe 4"x6" with 1024x768 res) would be tempting, if I could get my eyes to agree with the idea. I would still have my Kindle library, access to other ebook marketplaces, and a lot more besides.
