From my point of view, buying an ereader is a compromise between being able to read the text without zooming (so you get a reasonable amount of text per page) and being able to hold the damn thing without breaking your wrist. So for me the six inch screen is the largest I can hold more or less comfortably. I have an Iriver, which may be a little heavier than others, but not, I think, significantly so.
Your eyesight might be a consideration. Fortunately, despite my age, I have good near vision, so I read on the Iriver's smallest setting and get a reasonable amount of text per page. But if you get a 9 inch screen, I think you're going to find that you find yourself perpetually looking for somewhere to rest your book, and reading at a table all the time. Lying back in a sofa or in bed with the book in the air is not going to be an option.
