this isnt the device for you but the fact is taht for a device that can do what this can that 10 hours of movie watching is very very good.
your 40" screen is far too big for me to carry on the train and I have no chance of getting it on a plane. that doesnt mean I feel the need to go "40 inch screen, meh"
If all you do is read then fine eink it is for you. But I read, browse the web, and play games oh and watch films and listen to music. a dedicated ereader with 40hrs battery that cant do any of that, meh!
Im not typing this on one of my 5 eink reading devices because...I cant.

Hence why I said 'meh' for 10 hours. If this was a proper laptop or even a netbook 10 hours would be great, but it's not. It doesn't do anything I want or need, so it's 'meh' to me. My eink reader is 6 inch, I can drop it into my pocket and it does what I need it to do. My laptop is 11inch, it does web browsing, video, word processing and all the rest and I get 4 hours from it (which is enough for that device and how I use it). Again, this is 'Mobileread', not moible-everything-else.
Jeez.
