Yep. I don't see this so much as an upgrade from a Kindle 1 or 2 but a separate option. If I had to choose one, I'd pick the 6". I want a larger reader in addition for my work stuff but I can't see myself carrying this around casually for leisure reading. The 6" reader is a great size for carrying around in a handbag.
