The 10.3" size hits the sweet spot between too small and too big, and as an added plus is 4:3.
I own a 6" Boox i62HD which hasn't seen much use since i bought it because it is simply too small for the PDF material i usually read. This year i finally bought a 8" Boox i86 which is almost there, and is thus heavily used, but it still is a bit too small for comfortably reading certain scientific papers in PDF.
A 13.3" device is way too large for most reading material while a 10.3" device would be not as bulky but would rather be a perfect match for scientific articles in PDF both in resolution and shell size.
I tried a N96 before but sent it back because the resolution was way too coarse in relation to the display size. 150 dpi is virtually useless for reading if you want to maintain proper page layout of scientific papers in PDF. No, i don't care about other document formats.
Now if only they wouldn't try to turn these reading devices into tablet style gadgets but would rather enhance their reading and text management capabilities. Multitasking and parallel referencing of multiple documents would be much more interesting than anything else. The current software provided on Boox devices still leave lots to desire, unfortunately.
