At least I can roll magazine in the tube and stick it in my bag or even carry it in my hand if I want to read on the go, I have 12" motion tablet and it's not something I will take with me due to the size. .
BTW we talking about op device not mythical foldablle paper thin displays of the future. When they come we'll see for now even this 13" device is only a prototype.
For me both 9.7" and 13" both are not really very portable. At least the ipad's 9.7. A 9.7" device with virtually no bezel and significantly lighter than the ipad might be borderline. But the report said the device weighed only half of what the ipad weighs. I could imagine it as a device used around the house, for web browsing, magazines, and newspapers. Very low weight, super thin, but big screen so that I wouldn't have to scroll around. Definitely not for carrying it with me.

But most likely I will wait for some new screen technology.
