People who don't think a screen with 1/4 the screen area is adequate. You do have color, however. I use two different computer screens. Where I'm sitting right now, I have a 19" LCD screen; at home, I have a 17" CRT. When I'm using the CRT, I miss the LCD, despite the funny gamma of the latter. The resolution just isn't there, and it's smaller. Bigger (and more resolute) seems to always be better to me. I suspect you'd feel the same way were the iPhone screen larger than Kindle's.
