I'd like to feel like I'm actually reading a book. Reading from 6" devices makes me feel like I'm reading from a smartphone. Paperbacks are usually 8" in size (not including the margins). In my opinion, the biggest advantage of a larger screen is that you can use larger fonts without having to flip the page every 15 seconds. You obviously get a lot more real estate which means more text on screen in general and fewer page flips. This can potentially save battery life.

I've been wanting a larger screen device for the longest time, but most of the companies selling them (Pocketbook, Onyx etc.) use old e-ink technology, dodgy frontlighting and very low resolution displays. We're finally getting a premium ~8" device and I'm very excited.
