I'm certainly not doubting that it is for you, Mike, but for what percentage of the Reader's potential audience do you think that is true for?

Let's face it - reading an A4 or US Letter sized page on a 90x120mm screen is never going to be an experience that "works" - it just can't. If you want to read documents formatted for A4, you ideally want an A4-sized screen, and that immediately removes the portability which is one of the Reader's key strengths.

There may well be a market for A4-sized devices for people such as yourself, but I honestly can't see how you could ever do it well on a screen as small as the Reader. To my mind, the Reader is the "paperback book killer", not the "Magazine/Textbook/Newspaper killer".
