I ask because I am writing my own pen & paper fantasy RPG and figure some players and GMs may be interested in having e-copies. Originally I was looking at the EZ Reader (actually larger version) for research but after hearing much of what has been stated so far the 6" may work well for the PDF version of the saddle-stapled physical booklet versions of my FRPG 
(part of my goal was to create a product easily portable by soldiers in the field, etc). Note that using Open Office one can easily make PDFs with "half-sized" pages (5.5" x 8.5").

Dear Dwarf:
For the most part that size may not be too bad on the EZ Reader sat all. HOWEVER, the present EZ Reader comes ported with Mobi and that is changing rapidly. Withput saying anything bad about anybody's format... what you need is known as "reflow" where the .pdf is resized to fit. Dale Depriest of MobileRead Forum is an expert on reflow. From what I remember, eReader by Fictionwise and Adobe Digital Editions both have reflow with the Adobe stronger. I expect EZ Reader with eReader within the next four weeks and Adobe DE on EZ Reader within three months, when they release. The aim is to put both formats on the same device. Mobi will not allow that and demands exclusivity.
