To reduce the demensions of an ereader developers should reduce the bezels of the device not (necessarily) the screen size.
I'm sure that the demensions of a 6" model with very small bezels would match or would be very close to the demensions of the discontinued 5" model.
I have to agree: for a long time I thought I would have jumped on a lighted 5" reader, but after getting the Aura, I find it small enough for me, while offering much more screen (well, 1" more!), which is very valuable for non fiction or anything with graphics. And with the elastic band solution,one can hold it comfortably even without a cover.
