Exactally right. a 5 or 6inch device is great for fiction and recreational reading that is all text. But, I want a bigger one for work. technical texts that have alot of diagrams and sample code etc. Something I can put on the desk next to me. Of course, I could probably buy a third monitor for the PC, but that's not as portable, can't take into meetings, etc.

The only reason I could think to get a second 6inch one is if someone else in the house was hogging mine. Or, if they came down to a much more commodity price like maybe under $100.
