It is a good display, but as far as "screen technology" goes, paper in pretty poor: it takes more and more space the bigger the book is, it does not allow any kind of modification, in fact, for every piece of content, you have to buy a new "screen"

Imagine an e-reader "monitor" that provide perfect paper experience... but is chained to a desktop, with a power cord, in sizes no less than 23". You wouldn't care about such a device.

It would be a nice computer monitor, still
By that reasoning, I could say that battery life is still more important: Imagine the perfect screen, the perfect size... but with a battery that lasts 1 minute, and needs a 4-hour recharge. Or I could say it's general "toughness": Imagine the perfect device, but that has to be handled with gloves in a dust-free atmosphere...
At the end of it, all factors are important, but the screen is probably the most directly involved in the usage the device is intended for.
