Physically it's almost exactly the same size as the Kindle 3 (I have both), but the viewing area is larger because there is no keyboard.
My first Kindle was a DX, and I got that because of the larger screen. As a tech guy, I assumed a bigger screen is automatically much better. I then got a Kindle 3 after loaning my DX to someone and not getting it back. I found the K3 to work much better than I imagined. After using it, I had no complaints about the size, and the small size and weight allowed for better handling.
I'll still be curious if/when a larger size Fire comes out. But for now, the size "just works".
