In terms of area, it works out as 12 square inches for the 5", and 16.7 square inches for the 6", making it 39% bigger in area. Having already decided on a Sony, I opted for the PRS-650 over the 350, as a result.

My only problem with doing that is the PPI issue. Although you could stack the fonts the same, is the quality at that size going to be acceptable. I found the kindle's first 4 font sizes unacceptable due to the low PPI. The PRS350 meanwhile loses a few square inches but can render smaller font sizes much better for me. It would be nice if all ereaders were at least 200 ppi.
