In the near term I would like to replace my broken Sony reader with one of the 8-10" devices... when I can afford to. For what I need it for the size is more of a priority than sheer portability. And a tablet is at least more portable than a laptop or netbook.

That is what I am dreaming of! A 12" that you can fold into a 3" and put into your pocket. There are folding prototypes, but my guess is it will take years. So for the moment 2 readers would be ideal, the 6" for novels, and a 10-12" for newspapers, PDF files, etc. Well, when that Plastic Logic reader comes out I will break down and get one, score one for the inner geek! For browsing the web a 3.5-5" screen actually works quite well (which is what most phones have now), so I would never consider a tablet unless it had a screen that was really easy on the eyes to make it suitable for reading, too.
