7" isn't too small. A lot of the Japanese tanks I have are 4" x 6" or around 7.2" diagonal. If complicated Kanji and tiny side notes are readable on those without requiring the use of a magnifying glass, it stands to reason that a 7" screen would also be enough given the appropriate resolution. Printed material is what, 300 dpi?

First time I've heard of the iRiver Story HD. With its 1024x768 resolution, it would probably work quite well enough with manga. I think I might get one of those for myself. They're just $100 at Target.
