Hi Harry! From the number of posts you have there, I suppose you are a book fanatic, so, I think you may answer one question very well: does size matter?

Really, I'm afraid to make the transition from books to eReaders and find myself having trouble reading on a very small screen. Since Kobo has a larger one, that may push me in that direction. However, you just said that Kindle has the better screen (better contrast, for instance, may be very important), and I prefer Amazon ecosystem, so... if you say that you feel size wouldn't be an issue, I'd probably go with the Kindle PW2.
