If they fold down, and can also be used at half size when space is an issue, weigh no more than current readers...

The e-reader for novels, 5"-6", is a different product from the web tablet, which is what you're describing. I agree it'll obliterate the larger readers, but not the smaller ones. (Or maybe we'll end up with multiple web tablet sizes...the kids market alone won't let the smaller format go away)
