Certainly the iPhone and iPod Touch with their 3.5" screens have become a major factor in the ebook world.
It started with 2.4" and that's why I never bought it.
The first reader I bought was Sony Reader PRS-500:
- No backlit display.
- Acceptable battery life
- The smallest acceptable screen size.

Even 6" is a bit too small.
