Even a 6.25" display would be enough to push it over the top, competitively.
Amazon can only use the screens that are available. That means 5", 6", 8", 9.7". It takes a massive investment (billions of $) to set up a screen fabrication plant, and large though Amazon are, I really can't see them producing their own screens.
