You bring up an interesting point there. One that I'm not sure I could take a guess at. I know I, personally, don't want a 10" reading device, just because of size. But then again I don't want a 15" laptop (I have an 11") and they're by far the most popular range.

I suppose I'm just trying to get my head around the whole PDF being 'crappy' angle. Why didn't the major publishers push for PDF (sized correctly) when ereaders were first introduced? Why would Sony back ePub if they could just as easliy license and affix DRM to PDF (an already marketible and known format)? Where are Adobe in all this and why haven't they been more agressive in placing PDF as the format for ebooks?

There's a lot of questions in my mind, and not nearly enough answers.
