For reading pocketbooks? I'm good with 5-6". For reading magazines, pdfs, etc, the closer to an 8.5x11 the better.

I could use the larger reader for the pocket books, fo course, but I'd probalby want to use it in landscape and have two pages presented at a time. The reason for this is its hard to scan across long lines of text (for me anyway) without losing your place.
