One could counter that the HD processor is slower, it's too heavy, it doesn't have adaptive lighting, bezel controls, and...oh yeah...integrated access to Amazon's bookstore...clearly it's inequitable because the Voyage is in a much higher class! How dare Kobo charge so much?!
No, not really. You say "not equitable" but it's clear that you mean "not what I want." They ARE the same class: High-end dedicated ereaders, and comparing them is quite proper. The features you list are not an inequity on either side, they are differentiators.
On the matter of screen size, were 5" readers ever significant less expensive than 6" readers? And 5 to 6 is a bigger percentage jump than 6 to 6.8.
