For reading A4 one-column documents comfortably we need 10" screen, wherewith we can even get slight magnification of paper document, again, only if we read in landscape (zoomed without margins) two-screens per page.

I'd still rather read on 10" e-ink with a good frontlight (landscape; two screens per page), then on 13" without frontlight, because I usually read indoors, with the dimmed light rather than strong.
10" is not big enought for DIN A4. In fact even 13.3" is not (but almost) as big as A4.

There are several opinions about frontlights. I hate them, others love them. I think you get the point.
