The bigger the better. People sometimes forget that what we call a "big" screen in ereader is actually a size of a paperback page. Nowhere near a hardcover size.
The hardcover I have handy (Raid On The Sun by Rodger W. Claire) is 12", corner to corner. But the text measures 8", so the Forma is pretty close to hardcover (or at least some hardcover) size.

6"readers are fairly close to mass market paperbacks.
