i totally agree. 6" is perfect for relaxing reading, but 9" or larger would be better for graphic novels, which i don't even bother to read on a 6" screen. and a 5" or maybe 4" reader would be perfect to bring along.

Reading technical PDFs or magazines requires a large screen. Novels can confortably be read on a small screen. Small devices are great for portability; large-screen devices allow you to see more at a time.

It is, therefore, a meaningless question to ask what THE ideal size is. That implies that there is one size which is ideal for everything. That is clearly not the case. That's why one requires multiple reading devices.
