I've been reading on my Nintendo DS Lite, of all things, for a year, now. It's pocket sized! Not even paperbacks are really pocket sized. Especially not the ~1000 page novels I love. A larger screen would be nice, though. I'm ok with reading in plain text, but it has to be able to bookmark, have good battery life, and hopefully have the option to dim the backlight and change the background color to black with white or grey text. The other multifunction device I have in mind for pocket sized ebook reading is the new psp slim. I’ve also been intrigued in the ipod’s ability to read books.

I read LOTS of books, several a week. And I tend to use different types of media for different times of the day or week. I often buy the same book both as a 1) book - to mark and draw in it (I totally mess up all books I buy - to learn and understand them), 2) as audio book - for jogging and training and 3) e-books - for reading when I can't bring the actual books, like on a vacation or travel. What do you do? Do you ever read books on screens? What about audio books? How many do you have?
