The resolution is the same so the 5in screens are actually sharper.
The real choice is portability versus surface area; at worst, you'll have to page a bit more often. (Not an issue; honest! With a good book you'll get so immersed you lose track of the paging anyway.)
With a good reader like the Pocketbook 360 that lets you control the font size, margins, etc, it is easy to find settings that are both readable and minimize paging.
Most people that chose 5in displays are quite happy with them.

Me, I have both 5 and 6 inchers and I prefer the smaller reader.
