The device itself would be more expensive, bigger and heavier than a normal device.

Never underestimate the value consumers put on flexibility. Remember component stereos? Besides, you're putting the central device in your pocket, and carrying around a separate screen. I'm not sure that has to be heavier than an all-in-one.

No: You have the book data stored on the central device, in a universal format. The screen carries the software required to translate the stored data into its own display format, and no more. This leaves your display options free of your central device, and almost infinitely changeable!
