While I agree with the textbook argument I have found that 6" is actually a very good compromise for fiction. I own an Iliad which has an 8" screen, a Cybook and a sony Reader. The Iliad is really nice for viewing large amounts of text at once, but the size makes it less than ideal for holding and even worse for transporting around. It's simply too bulky and heavy and ever since I got the smaller 6" devices I found myself using the Iliad less and less.
