I have tried two 5" devices: Cybook Opus and Hanvon 516. Because these have higher resolution (ppi or dpi?), the text is a shade crisper.

Opus (I believe they have addressed this in firmware update) had this one issue which I did not like and it was that you could not put it to standby mode. You had to restart it every time.

Hanvon 516, with its original firmware was terrible, but with OpenInkpot firmware installed, it was indeed very nice. Gives you flexibility to choose font and size of your choice for EPUB and that was really great. One unit, which hung up on me and I returned, had the best contrast I have ever seen on any eBook reader. It was just like looking at crisp text printed on paper. But the replacement unit had comparatively washed out screen. Given its low price, it is an excellent device if you run it with OpenInkpot.
