The key will be to watch teens and young adults. Don't watch geezers, they aren't a good leading indicator.

I'm going to stick my neck out and guess that those teens and young adults will someday become geezers -- magic number is 40 when reading glasses start becoming a necessity -- and will want larger screens on which to enjoy their media. A 5" or 6" phone just won't cut it. Can you realistically expect to have a good experience reading Car & Driver or Architectural Digest on even the largest mobile phone or phablet? I doubt it. And textbooks? Forget about it. One size fits all? I don't think so. That said, it might still be possible to end up with only one device, most likely with a foldable display or some sort. But that's a ways off, lots of issues to iron out before we get there, IMO. And no, I don't think projecting a large image on a wall or some other surface is going to be the answer.
