For you Illiad users, what's the experience like? Pleasant enough to read for hours and hours?

Anyone else a bit worried?
If I recall correctly, a 10" screen is approximately 6.3" wide and 7.9" tall. In other words, still smaller than the fairly popular book size of 6"x9".

If you are really, really used to reading mass-market paperbacks, it might be jarring... those I think might be as small as around 4"x6" but most other North American books are 5"x8" or 6"x"9 which are not greatly smaller than the 10" screen size.
