I think the real key will be the industry deciding on a standard screen size for e-readers.f Have a set 9-10" size that all magazines, text books, newspapers etc. use. Novels that are just text don't matter so much as they can be reflowed. People who want a 6" reader for novels can get one and just have limited options for things other than regular books, other's can by the larger reader to use for books and magazines etc.

Until that happens we will have multiple formats with various reflow issues.

Again, I don't much mind as I don't have much current interest in e-reading beyond novles, and plain text reflows fine regardless of format (I'm not picky about occasional formatting errors). Magazines, PDF journal articles etc. I'll stick with print or web versions for now.
