Each person is different but to me, big screen is a plus when reading PDF documents. That way, you probably won't need to zoom in and your reading session will be more natural and faster.

I would also like a reader which can remember last read page; if I have to go back and find the last page I read every time, I would be annoyed ;-)

Color? hmmm... it depends. Some documents won't loose any value if you read them on black and white but that's a subjective topic too. For instance, Magazines, Photographic manuals or books (GIMP, Photoshop, etc) are useless in black and white. Those are one of the few PDFs that I still read on my computer(s) or with original pbook.

For regular black and white PDFs, screen contrast is what dictates how clear the text is going be, not if the device is color capable or not.
