This is fascinating stuff. It suggests that the new technology won't necessarily lead to shorter or simpler texts. The handheld readers are modelled on books (which after all have been developed for portability) so there's no need to think about different page sizes. Readability should be comparable with the printed page when the technology develops. The only changes should be gains - eg the ability to search, which will be a boon to literary scholars. Think I'll wait a few years before buying one, though.
