If anyone knows the difference in screen area, as a %, between a 5 and 6 inch reader, then I assume that percentage could be used to figure the difference in time between charges. e.g., Number of days between charges on the 6" reader, multiplied by x%, equals number of days difference between charges on the 5" vs 6" reader.
It's not an oranges to oranges comparison because the 350's smaller screen also has a 200 ppi resolution so it can render smaller fonts more acceptably than the 167 ppi 6" screens. Personally I would call it a toss up even though I would never consider a 6" reader due to the low ppi; at least until someone comes out with one.
