Interesting to read. Come to think of it 5 inchers are so doomed. Bookeen went down with price on Opus since Kindle was launched, now at 120 €. I'm waiting like a vulture when it hits below 100 (since they are not in shops anywhere add delivery cost)
Hidari I hear you too... Opus is so convenient to hold, landscape and portrait. And the folders and font sizes and your own font etc etc...
I don't know how to make multiple quote so I will try to discuss what I read as I can - last year when my netronix c*** died on me I searched high and low for an ereader that would read my language. Sony does not and Kindle wasn't yet sold in Europe (methinks) at that time. I came across Opus and thought 5" is small but as others I fell in love. I'd hate to think they will be scrapped.
My husband made interesting observation this morning when he said "look years ago they tried to make mobile phones very small and now smartfones are becoming bigger." With ereaders in a way it looks they will hit middle ground at 6". Maybe it is wiser to stock up and back up on your favourite one because in a year from now they may not be there anymore. Vizplex doesn't bother me, sipix I wouldn't touch with a stick. And Pearl is great only Kindle is not as sweet as the little one (font bothers me too) and I just don't like to read on it that much. But 3G was useful when wifi router died on the camping site. I mostly bought it for 3G.
