I find 6in is just a tad on the small side for reading novels. With fully-justified text a wider screen would allow more even word spacing and/or less hyphenation wihout reducing the font size, and in general a larger screen allows wider margins, wider line spacing, larger font size etc. without reducing the number of words on a page.

My eyes are still good so I think my next ereader will be 6.8in. However I can see when I get a bit older that a larger screen like 7.8in will be better.
