Especially excited bout the medium screen sizes. I like my small eReader but sometimes need something larger for PDFs and to make highlighting and searching easier in non-fiction books. The giant tablet I am typing this on is nice for web and video, but it’s just too massive for reading and it appears tablets have the seem problem as smartphones with becoming ever bigger.

Mine is about 20cm in diagonal, and I find this size perfect. Most of my textbooks are only available as PDF/DJVU, often as scans. And those that do have a text version often end up with messed-up formatting or a lot of recognition errors that make reading annoying, so even then I usually opt for a "raw" scan, despite lesser convenience.

You can get 7,8,10 inch screens for ereaders, in addition to smaller ones. Where is there a gap?

(The only reason I haven't pulled the trigger on a 10 inch color one is because I'll just be annoyed when 13 finally happens. Reading on big screens is awesome.) But there are options all over sizes below that.
