Wow - I'm not the only one looking for a midsized unit. I've been thinking about this a LONG time. I really want the core unit to be perfect for reading and browsing - comfortable to hold, spectacular resolution, and big enough to avoid eyestrain. A bluetooth keyboard would be a fine solution for those times when you want to use it as a computer. Maybe even provide a charging stand that holds it at the right angle for use as a monitor.

A paperback book has an effective 'screen size' of around 6.5" diagonal. If you could maintain the resolution of the NIT screen and stretch it to that size, it would be around 1024x768 at least. That's not workstation class, but it would be adequate for no-compromise reading and web browsing.

By the way - I'm keeping my 810 in any event. The tiny size is great.
