That's true... however I don't think it's quite like that. Think of it like this, the approach of "one for home and one for the road" is more akin to the mind set of a gaming console for instance: you have your Xbox 360 and your PSP. However when it comes to reading I think it's a very different story.

What I'm saying is that the reading experience is different from a consumer's point of view. Most of us don't want to have the BEST EREADER EVER, we just want the one that's best for our purposes. I wouldn't see many of us buying a large screen PRS if we already have one, not unless the improvement is such that renders our trusted reader unbearable.

I would really love this large screen dream if its materials were of sturdier stuff. I mean, I would like to know that I can place the reader in my backpack without any fear of its screen getting scratched or broken, a fear that I might say would increase with screen size. Color isn't such a big deal if we can do 16 shades of gray but PDF support that's REAL, that woud be awesome. No more reformatting and cropping and so on...
