In my case, 10" is too big for an ereader. I use my 7" Android tablet and like it but it still feels a little big and awkward for holding at some angles while reading in bed. So I am thinking of also getting a 5" or 6".

A 10" tablet is great for movies, web browsing and reading online news and perhaps textbooks on an table, but it is not easily held in one hand while reading with no support.
