I think the Aura is the perfect size, 6" feels small after using it. 5" feels positively tiny! Now that there are nice sharp screens like the Aura available, I don't feel such a strong need for my Sony 350 other than ebook testing. I hardly ever read on it any more.
There's something about that 6.8" screen, it just feels more like a book, without being too bulky or heavy to be comfortable using the reader. Size is so close to my Sony T1 in lighted cover as to be a negligible difference. No difference to how it fits in my bag.
I'm not convinced Amazon will feel the need to do something similar though. They already have a larger e-ink reader and sure have not been updating that.
