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.

Probably you're right. I often think of myself as a type that hates bags. If I have to carry something with me, it has to fit my pockets. Some people (women especially) are crazy about bags, so another inch or two of a screen size doesn't matter too much for them. Another point is where you're going to use your bookreader? If you spent 2,5 hours a day in a subway (like I do) and you hate bags - 5" screen is exactly what you need. If you read at home, and you read textbooks and like why to use something so portable? Obviously the bigger the screen the easier the reading.
