Again, the screens of any of these ereaders is excellent.
The only real issue I have with the 6.8" is the size when moving between bits of my commute. I can put the 6" Glo HD in my pocket. The H2O doesn't fit.
The size also means it is heavier and I can't wrap my hand around it as much. Both means it is a little less comfortable to hold. I would expect someone with smaller hands would have more trouble.

I have small hands, but I don't have any problems holding my 6.8" devices...
But in the end, it's all in the eye of the beholder (hands of the reader?). For me, if I had the choice between a 6.8" device and a 6" device, all other things being equal, I would pick the 6.8" one. But it's a choice that can and will be different for every person.
