17" like the size of a computer monitor? The battery would be HUGE to power such a large screen so the weight would be about that of a laptop. Until battery technology improves we won't see portable 17" tablets of any decent battery life with low weight.

I think a 10" screen would be fine for most books. They have to worry about contrast as well, it seems to always be a compromise between contrast/pixels per inch/brightness/screen size.
