I have both a CyBook Gen3 (6" screen, the same as the Sony PRS-505) and an iRex DR1000 (10" screen). I would not want to be without either, but they in no way whatsoever "compete" - they are completely different, and complimentary, devices.

I agree with this.
The first question you should ask yourself: do you read mainly novels, or mainly textbook kind of books? The next should be: where do you read mostly, in bed, on the road (aka, bus, train, boat, plain, never read while sitting behind the wheel yourself!)?
For me, a big screen wouldn't be useful at all, as I generally read novels, and mostly whenever I'm able to do so (while waiting for my ride, on the breakfast table, in bed, on the couch, etc...)
