I have no experience with e-book readers, but I think it may be annoying to turn page every second. So I consider buying a 9” screen instead of a 6”.
I would like to have an opinion on this. Is the 9” screen much better than the one with 6”? I am not interested in reading magazines but having a nice time reading comfortably. Do you recommend a 6” or 9”?

For casual reads, 6" is absolutely adequate. Even 5" is convenient enough.
For "professional documents" (text books, contracts, ...) = the bigger the better, as reflow usually will "kill the layout" and you may want to stick as close as possible to the original format, usually DIN A4 or letter.
For comparison:
6" is about the same as your average paperback.
5" obviously is a bit smaller, but to some portability is a factor.
9" is about the same as a DIN A4 document.
