I've been reading ebooks on odd devices since I got my first Palm III (what is that, 10 years ago?) and I've been very happy since I have my Sony reader.

Now, for your specific questions:
Quote:
- Is a 6" screen really necessary for ebook that support reflow and don't have image or any complicated layout?
Necessary? No. Nice? Yes. Does it make for hefty baggage when traveling? Not at all! I might even want one with a bigger screen for at home (say, A4 sized).

Quote:
- Is the PRS-505 really usable in bed with only a bed lamp as light input?
Yup, just like a regular book. Exactly like a regular book.

Quote:
Do you think moving from a 3,5" something to a 6" was a great change?
or if you had the choice, wouldn't you prefer a smaller E-ink screen?
Yes, a great chance for the better! I love e-ink tech. And as I mentioned, I might even want a second, bigger device. But for traveling, the Sony (or like-sized devices) is fine.
