I'm pretty sure though, we all can agree on one thing that on a backlit screen(whichever tech) dark bg + light text > light bg + dark text.
Yes, size will mater. You eye don't move the same way on a larger screen. Quality of the screen , luminosity. There are lost of factors.

I've read on my archos, didn't liked the experience much. Partly because of the software, partly because of the screen. A really white background is not comfortable, neither is back background with white text. i really good lcd with a yellowish background might do better.

Then, the is the sunlight / battery issue. Not the long ago, I was in the train, pestering about my ds's screen that was rendered un-readable by the sunlight. And battery, i like the knowledge i can go on week end, and that my reader will hold, even if I use it lots.
