Harry, I think an 8 inch screen is great for pdf files like craft or cookbooks, magazines where you need it portable. It isn't large enough for technical illustrations IMHO. I have a Nook HD+ and it's great for all of those and works with most of my hobby books as well. Also much easier to read any book that couldn't be converted to epub after scanning due to strange types. A lot of books printed in the 50s in mysteries are like that. Strange serif fonts that even ABBYY can't manage.

Also, and I hope you never have to go through this, if you are bedridden for several weeks after surgery, the larger screen is helpful to read if you need to lay on your side with your glasses off.
