Just my 2c. I have a PRS-505, had a PRS-700 and just placed an order for Kindle 2.

I also have an iLiad Book Edition.

The screen on the iLiad is considerably more like a book, and more enjoyable to read, IMO. The iLiad has other (sleep-related) minor issues, but I think its screen is the perfect size (the DR1000) is too large for casual reading, for me.)

So, yeah, size does matter. I am not sure why more screens in the 8" range are not popping in the marketplace - it really seems like the perfect size.
