What's your fall course schedule like? What are you thinking of majoring in? Do you know what format(s) the textbooks you're interested in use? If PDF, then yes, screen size is a concern.
A big drawback of eReaders as compared to physical books is that it's hard to flip around quickly and to compare information across different sections. They're also not as easy to annotate; this is a deal killer for learners like me, who scribble lots of paraphrases and questions in the margins. Onyx Boox M60/BeBook Neo has one of the better reputations for annotation, but the M90 has had lots of hardware and firmware issues since its release. I personally wouldn't want to be adapting to college and fighting with my support tools at the same time.
Have you read up on the Entourage Edge in the Android subforum? There's no longer a company standing behind the product, but a lot of enthusiastic users have already figured out how to make good use of the hardware.
