About the size:
I have small hands, and I've no problems holding it one handed for a longer period of time... And ever since I have bought my 6.8" reader (Onyx T68, later the H2O) I never wanted back to 6". I really love the larger screen of the One, not because of failing eye sight or PDF files, but simply because there's more text per screen.

Admittedly, this may just be a weird thing that I do. It's not how I do ALL of my reading, or even all of my bedtime reading, but when I'm not reading on one side or the other I do tend to hoist the book up and hold it aloft for a while.
The absolute best bedtime reading experience I've had to date was with the Kindle Voyage in the Origami case; it allows you to easily rest it at an angle on either side and just lie down beside it, reading.
Ultimately, I'm very glad Kobo tackled the size problem. There's been a lot of demand for a modern e-reader at a larger size, and that's exactly what they delivered. Those of us who prefer the smaller sizes have plenty of options available to us so it was about time the rest got some attention.
I do hope these enhancements trickle down to their smaller e-readers as well though.
