Other people have made these (or similar) points, but I thought I'd put them in a list, cause I like lists:
1) Nearsighted people seem to have no problem with reading on a small screen. Normal/farsighted people seem to dislike it.
2) 'Small screen' is probably 3.2-4" diagonal. I can't recommend any screen smaller than 3.2" for extended reading. 4-10" screens are the same size as various book formats.
3) If you read a lot outdoors or in very strong light, eInk or a reflective LCD is probably better. If you prefer a dim room, backlit LCDs are probably better. Do not read in a totally dark room using either. Turn on some room light, or you will get eyestrain. On LCDs, night mode can help.
4) Distractions are your responsibility, don't blame the device. You personally control the ones internal to the device. That said, I've never had a problem with them.
