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).

- 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.

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.
