Reading on a 6" reader feels a bit too much like reading on a cellphone display and is a bit bothersome. Now, if I could have both worlds (a small device that had the wider display - perhaps by folding or rolling it up) I might be really interested in that.
I don't think it would be possible to shrink this device much more without reducing the screen size. It really has a minimal bezel around the screen, any smaller and there is know where left to hold it.

Stretchable would certainly be cool.
