why not in ereaders?
I for one don't have a pocket large enough to carry a reader using a 32 inch screen! Plus I'm not sure what the battery life would be

Really unlucky maybe it will be your next Christmas present...
-.- not funny

@pdurrant
The 32 inch sceeen were showed both at DSE and CES (there are some video on youtube)
I have seen (as you said) that the resolution is 1280x760 (and it would be really good for an ereader) and the technology is Eink Pearl (really strange, I knew that the only one with color was Eink Triton /Triton 2)

Resolution doesn't tell us anything about how it would look rendering text on a small device. What is the dpi?

There is no point looking at the specs of a large display screen when thinking about eReaders. Having said that, at 32" diagonal, 16:9 ratio, and 1280x720 resolutions gives around 45dpi.

Obviously you were right, I thought they could keep a 1280x760 resolution in a small ereader, but i was wrong.

Keep searching, I found that the screen has a better resolution (2560 x 1440); that equates to 94 dpi.
