I think a 10" screen would be fine for most books. They have to worry about contrast as well, it seems to always be a compromise between contrast/pixels per inch/brightness/screen size.
I want it for military history books, and comics which are image intensive.
If the battery just gives me 3 days worth of page turns that would be acceptable - that is camping over a 3 day weekend.

Current Ereader sizes are to small to do comics well.
