I entirely disagree with you. I use both my iRex DR1000 and my CyBook Gen3 daily. The larger device does not stop me from using the smaller. Why ever would it?

Well, you can think of reading a book on a small screen, as being relegated to looking at someone you are very attracted to, who is naked, though a keyhole.

A large screen is like being in the room with them.

But of course, whatever turns you on....

Yes...it is a good explanation why 10" netbooks so popular now...

... yes, but only if you mean that 10' netbooks are a cheap release, in cases where one can't attain the real object of their desire (a larger view.)

Freudian slip..., we were speaking of size envy, after all.

It's a matter of practicality. My DR1000 is what I read at home; my Gen3 goes with me to work, and anywhere else I go out. The DR1000 is too big for a "go everywhere" device.
