For magazines too. The main problem is that we're used to different sizes of paper for different purposes. That's a pretty huge drawback for those expecting a great multi purpose device: if you want better document support (A4 PDF for example) and better formatting, you don't get the same mobility.

Simple newspaper could be formatted in a much more flexible way than they are right now, and be available on all kind of e-ink devices. But don't expect more "formatting heavy" magazines anytime soon on anything else than A4 (color too ?).

The "e-babel" is not only tricky because there's too many formats around, it's also linked to the physical size of these readers.
