I often wondered about e-reader manufacturers' fixation with 6" e-ink screen. A 7 to 8 inch reader would be so much better for reading. Kobo Aura HD has a 6.8" screen. While it is good, there's a huge space wasted for the bottom margin that it actually holds less text per screen, compared to Kindle paperwhite.
That has always been my thought too. And I find the smaller Kindles aggravating in that respect. It was one of the reasons I bought the Cruz e-reader: it has a decent sized screen. But the e-ink is so much easier to read, IMO anyway.

Yes, I wasn't too crazy about the 3G only with no WiFi, but I can still download with a USB cable so that makes it pretty much a non-issue in my mind. As long as I can get my books onto the DX I can get used to the no WiFi issue.
