It's the sort of PDFs that are ultra-detailed so as to be (whether purposefully or unintentionally) printable at several multiples of the intended display size without quality loss that I imagine would bring poor Sony Readers and Cybooks alike to an unceremonious halt.

Or do I have it wrong?

I'm just talking about device dimensions

I suspect your "standardized display" already exists, and it's not an eReader.
