I have a be-book, a irex dr-1000 and now also a kindle dx graphite. I read mostly mathematics and can say that for that 6 inch (my be-book) is to small, the irex is very bulky but the screen size is good for reading mathematics, unfortunately its battery life is very short and the OS is kind of buggy. The kindle dx is smaller then the irex (actually is longer but less wider than the irex). For me it's size is just good not only reading for mathematics but also just text, proof of this is that I'm taking it with me on my holiday to Borneo and I'm going to give my be-book to my brother, as for the irex I will probably sell it.
I can recommend the kindle dx, its reading comfort is much better then on a 6 inch screen (even for non mathematical text), and its weight and dimensions are still portable.

PS. I must confess that I'm using reading glasses so if you are younger you will probably satisfied with a s 6 inch device.
