Tablet Opinions

I'm thinking of getting a tablet.  How do people feel about 7" screens vs. 11" screens?  The price difference is substantial, so I want to know if people find a smaller screen satisfactory...

My wife and I find 7" too small for reading pdfs and most webpages. Just too much constant zooming and scrolling. For reading properly formatted ebooks they are great.

Our Nook HD+ (9") on the other hand is great for reading most pdf (if the text was already smallish there can be some zooming issues, that'll depend on your eyes.) We find reading in landscape on the web just fine on almost all sites. It's usable in one hand, particularly if you can rest one edge on something, if you need to hold it out or at an odd angle it can get tiring and you may have to use a second hand to hold and scroll at the same time, depends on exactly what you are doing.

I have no experience with things bigger than 9" screens.
