It seems to be designed more for reading graphs, pdf's, and tables than a compact carry around device. A cool tool for college people, and those who are more into 'tech' stuff.
Yes, I know you can read anything on there, but the size itself seems to defeat the "tuck it into your purse, etc." aspect.

I am looking forward to the DX/large screen model for a non-technical reason. I read a lot of poetry (and Shakespeare, etc.). On the smaller screens, I have to really ramp down text size to get the line breaks to occur in the "right places" -- i.e. where they would occur on the printed page. But my tired eyes want/need larger font sizes. It is unsettling to read well-known poetry and have line breaks occurring in the "wrong" places - as far as the metrics of the poem are concerned. I'm hoping either the larger screen size, or the landscape mode on the fly option, restores my poetic works to their more familiar appearance on the screen.
