Like some other things (well, at least one springs to mind) - the bigger the better

Katsunami's thread has, however, prompted me to look at using my phone again for reading, if only occasionally. The first devices I read on, way back, were PDAs so got used to small devices, then later E Ink and occasionally my phone, then for several years now tablets. I read a mix of fiction and non-fiction (including reference). When I go anywhere I usually have a computer bag or postie type bag with me so throwing a tablet in is no problem.
But sometimes I go off to just an appointment or similar without those and if they are running late end up with a bit of time to spare but nothing to read. So I have now just installed my reading app on my phone and have it syncing bookmarks, notes etc. with my tablet. I use a 5 inch phone which, I'm guessing, has about the same screen real estate as the old smaller PDAs, certainly enough for me for occasional fiction use.
