I suppose it depends on your reading habits and preferences.
I like the K2 for its reasonably good UI (for a non-touch device) and the dictionary option.
But reading on the larger-screen iLiad BE is a much more book-like reading experience, and I find it much more pleasant and satisfying.
On the other hand, I read mostly in bed, and wouldn't carry an ereader (or a book) with me when about town. When i travel, I carry a MacBook in the backpack, so the thin ereader, even if a 10"-er, is not an issue, as it slips next to the laptop.
When I look at small screens for ereading, I am reminded of the micro-editions they sell in novelty stores. Yes, they fit in my pocket, but if am not going to read them, because I don't enjoy the experience, they are just dead weight, no matter how small.
