I find the screen size is not an issue for 'low format' text. The phone screen is too small for illustrations, diagrams, tables, poetry (the line structure gets too fragmented), ... but for straight prose it's fine, you only read a few words at a time anyway. For now the small size buys you ultra portability - the book is always with you, I'd like one of those roll-out shown above though. I actually do a lot of reading on my mobile phone right now.
