If you cannot put your hands on one, find another tab with similar dimensions and see how that feels -- use it for an hour or whatever you tend to read for. When we were buying our first big tv, we cut a piece of cardboard the same size as each set we were considering and put it right where the new tv would go. It really helped me get my head around some of the screen sizes. It's the same for a tab or e-reader. Even if you love the screen and the apps, you will hate yourself if it is so big or heavy you never use it. My first Kindle was a travel companion. I visited a lot of stores propping up my backside to see how well a reader would fit in the pocket. i even set off a Wal-mart security system, "I just wanted to see if it would fit in my pocket." They understood.
