I would still buy 5", even if the 6" unit was for the same price. For me portability and compact form factor is more important. I consider 5" to be ideal size for casual reading of fiction that can be repaginated to my exact liking.

I can have as much text on my 5" user configurable device as an average Kindle user on an average Kindle edition. Kindle books have relatively large margins, status line at the top, progress bar at the bottom. And you can't configure those things on Kindle.
Amazon Kindle..The iBooks of readers.
