I've got multiple Android devices ranging from 3~10". Among them, the Xperia Ray (3.3" 480x854, 297 ppi) is my favorite for reading. Text is very clear. I haven't noticed any pixelation even when compared to the iPhone 4/4S. Backlight dims down quite low making it comfortable to use for night time reading (I use a sepia theme - can't stand white on black night mode). That's one of the reasons I couldn't read on either the Nexus S or Galaxy S 4G - the backlight just doesn't go low enough.

Of course, it doesn't hurt that the Xperia Ray looks so pretty. After getting just iPhones for 4 years, it's nice to have a phone that actually looks like a phone again.
