IIRC the new screens are 3.5inch diagonal with a resolution of 480x320 (ish). So very roughly the same as a pda (same size though some pdas have a higher resolution). Smaller and with lower resolution than eink but perfectly usable and of course - colour. Reading A4 pdfs is possible but not something you'd want to do for an extended session but eBooks in html or a custom pdf from FeedBooks would be more than fine (espoecially as I think they use apple's Quartz rendering technology). There were some screengrabs from the iPhone somewhere on the site (or try the Books.app pages).
