Most women's pant front pockets stopped being able to hold a phone many phone generations ago, and I personally rarely feel comfortable leaving my phone in my back pocket where it will easily fall. Moreover, most skirts or dresses don't have pockets at all. Women seem to have adjusted just fine to phones that don't fit in their pockets, I doubt that the rest of the population will have trouble adjusting.

Additionally, I read a lot more when I have my tablet with me, as it's easy to pop it out and read an article or chapter when I'm waiting for the bus, etc, and it's not tedious to read on like it is on my phone, as the tablet has a larger screen. I also rarely carry my tablet around as it seems superfluous with my computer and phone.

That's why I, at least, am jumping at the chance to have a device that is both easier to read, and not as big as my tablet.
