Does it fit easily in however you want to carry it?

I've owned 4 different readers, and the biggest difference to me, was how comfortable each was to hold, and turn pages. Ergonomics above everything.
Yes, if they are available in your local stores this is a good idea. When I bought my first ereader all the major brands were still available in stores in the US and one reason I chose my first Sony reader was because it was the best fit in my hands.

What size/shape is "portable" will be different for each person depending on whether it fits in their particular pocket, handbag, or whatever. Even between my 6 inch readers, not all of them are quite the same size and shape.
