I wouldn't be surprised if everyone's experience will be different.

One of the key features of the new browser is the ability to "dial in" a web page by turning your finger clockwise. Combined with kinetic panning, it really makes reading (and interacting with) web pages much easier.

If your eyes struggle to focus at close range, then you'll probably become frustrated with the smaller screen, because you do need to hold it closer than the current tablets to read fine details clearly.

My best suggestion for those who aren't sure about the smaller screen is to find somewhere near you that has an N900 on display and go and try it before you buy it.
