The only illuminated e ink ereaders I've seen are 6 in!

can anyone tell me if there are some that are larger than that?

Thanks
The 8" Pocketbook InkPad 840. It is great for text-based PDFs, even though in the current software version there is an area at the bottom of the page that is reserved for displaying page numbers, which you cannot disable, so you are effectively left with 7.5 inches. For graphic PDFs (scanned paper books, graphic novels etc.) it is totally unusable, it breaks down when the file has more than a few MB. Backlight is good, contrast is not state of the art but the high resolution (1200 x 1600, 250dpi) mostly makes up for it.
