Very good point. This is perhaps one of the best reasons that liseuses will eventually standardize both display sizes and feature sets. Liseuses, for the average person, will never be like cell phones... and the person whose overpriced and underperforming device fails on them after 2 years will go back to buying $0.99 - $19.99 paper books every now and then, instead of shelling out another $200 - $300+ for the most limited portable computer they ever owned.
