I clearly disagree here. You can't shrink the display further (5-" is about it) and still have a conventional reading experience. The current reading devices are also petty thin, and battery life is great fore-ink: all factors that justify them as specialized reading devices. And e-ink is great for extended reading. I know you disagree, but that is only your minority opinion. Seriously, why do you even frequent an ebook site, and don't you get tired of hearing yourself constantly griping and dinging ebook devices? I know I do.
