I spent the better part of last night comparing e-readers. I really want something that is large enough to comfortably read a magazine (PDF), but everything seems to be 7" or so.

I'm with you. I can't wait until we have a proper A4 / letter sized e-reader -- or better yet 2x A5 that could close.

I haven't kept tabs on the e-ink scene outside of a little digging twice a year. Outside of refresh rates, it doesn't seem like a lot has changed. The price is still up there and the screens are still roughly half of what they should be.

I fell in love with the general idea of e-ink with the Pebble watches (Sharp's Memory LCD.) Having a device that just works and doesn't require frequent charging is such a pleasure.

What I really don't understand is why e-ink hasn't consumed the mobile market (like the Yotaphone.)

edit: proper paper sizing
