The ebook reader matrix here at the wiki has sizes listed; it's just that there's a *lot* of info to wade through.

No no, this was literally a webpage where you could click on the reader name, and they would be superimposed over each other, so you could see the actual difference in the sizes.

It was a website with 'kindle' in the name - I just for the life of me can't remember which thread had the link!

Netronix Pocketbook: 5.5" x 4.6"
Cybook Opus: 5.9" x 4.3"

I wish the pictures didn't keep trying to show them isolated, or sized up to match the 6" readers. Would like to see them next to something that gives a sense of scale.
I'm going to look at Sony 350 with my Opus in hand, so I'll can tell you. I've had Opus and PB360 together and, for me, PB 360 is sturdy than Opus (that's really subjective, I know). I've had Sony PRS-300 and Opus, and Opus seem smaller (although it's only a small difference).

The problem you will have with an iPod Touch is the battery is not good enough for a vacation where you may not have access to charge it when it runs low. This is why a good eink based reader will work a lot better for taking with you on vacation. You should be able to get away with a week without needing a charge.
