I have a 6" screen; it's okay. I want a 5" screen. I think I want a 4" screen but know it'll never get made. I read on a Clié for two years before getting my Sony; I gave up on the Cliés when I realized they'd always have battery problems, and the newer PDAs were crammed with (battery-sucking) bells and whistles I didn't want.

Portability & battery life are the two features I want most in an ebook reader. Ability to read letter/A4-sized PDFs isn't nearly as important; I'm willing to do the conversion work on anything I really want to read on it.

I understand there are plenty of people who want to read textbook or journal-ish technical PDFs on a screen big enough to show the original pages. I'm glad they have devices, but I have no interest in giving up my take-it-everywhere ebook reader for the ability to easily view a small number of documents.

What I really, REALLY want? A 4" screen at 300+dpi. I'm willing to read very tiny text if it doesn't get pixelated or blurry.
