True. But all the more reason to pick the one size that fits your habits, and have the ebooks accommodate the size of the reader. No need/way to find the one "true" size since everybody's probably different.

And I'm sorry but I don't believe *any* screen size will do.
Not exactly "any", of course, we're talking about reasonable limits here.

Depending on the device or the function, screen size and shape will have a huge impact on the user experience.
Yes, but again, everybody will have to decide this for themselves. I don't belieev in "one size fits all", never have.

Some sizes and proportions *are* better to hold and to read on.
I'm all in favor of ergonomics. The kindle is an abomination in that regard but it's got nothing to do with screen size.
