Then there will always be issues with magazines, newspapers, scholarly articles etc. which have pictures, graphs, tables etc. meant to be a set size and a certain point in the text.
Again, I think there could be a standard maximum size that magazines etc. used, and that smaller portable readers just couldn't read those type of things very well. And people can decide whether they just need a portable reader, one of the larger readers, or both based on their reading habits.
Otherwise, I'm fine printing out my scholarly article pdfs, subscribing to some print magazines etc. I kind of prefer reading those things on paper anyway. And I recycle and there are plenty of trees anyway!
But with all the formatting issues currently, it's not worth bother with e-versions of such things IMO, so I just stick to novels which I can download and read with no issues whatsoever.
