It better hurry geting there because the entry level US$109 K4 is up for preorder in the UK at £89 and incoming to other markets, with the Kindle Touch not far behind.

Now, as much as I like the PB360, the economics of volume in the business are favoring 6in as the entry level and the new Kindles' dimensions are actually comparable to the few remaining five inchers. So color me concerned that fivers are indeed endangered.

Have to say am also a 5 inch screen size fan. Love the Opus, PB360,, Sony 350 and EzReader.....had or have all of them.. Ergonomics can't be beat and I find the form factor the best. though as torres said the new 6 inch machines seem to have reduces the real estate ...at least the new Sony is....

Chi Cygni.... with you there... love the Opus.... have a sony 350 as well but read on the Opus more due to ergonomics, ease of Font changing, epub rendering (still one of the best) and simplicity.

Just hope more 5 inch machines keep being churned out....
