I'm personally leaning towards the 9.7" screens. They are roughly the same as an A5 piece of paper. I tend to print my academic journals two to a page, so that comes to approx A5 size and find that quite readable (I just have difficulty reading off a computer screen for any great periods of time - hence I print it out). Most of the PDFs I use are either photocopies of journals saved as a PDF or are formatted for a journal (ie: two column layout) which wont reflow the text on an ereader.
