Size changes are noticeable.
Have you tried a 6" screen? What is it about a 6" screen you don't like?

E-ink screens are not reflective. Have to see the device in a store, in ambient light to really judge the reflectiveness.
I have to agree. The light shining on the red unit is so bright, it obscures the words. Cannot see the text under the light. I don't think many people would be reading in such a bright light except for maybe outdoors. But if it is so bright that you cannot read the screen, then the light is plain too bright. I took a close look at the YouTube video and they used the white unit. I did not see any reflective glare from the white one. I was viewing at 1080p and paused every now and then to take a close look and no glare. There was one part where he moved the T1 in his hand and I saw the screen reflect some light and the white bezel did not reflect any of the light.
