And plus since I am new with ebooks while most of you have already a 6" device, isn't so small font to read from your experience?...
Luigino,

I don't believe anyone's made a "refraction" study of these screens (cloudy daylight, sunny daylight, beach-and-snow sunny daylight, etc) but everyone can tell you that these e-ink screens, under such strong lighting conditions, are so vastly superior to what you experience viewing a typical laptop or pda as to make the latter appear quite useless. Once you've used an e-ink ebook reader in bright light, you'll never go back to LCD devices.
