Also don't care about a bigger device. That means more weight and less easiness if reading for me. The wider the surface to read the more I have to keep moving my head. 6 inch is about paper back size so its fine. More portable, more readable, and at this point, more popular. All kindles but the DX have been 6 inches.
Don't care what kobo does, I have no access to kobo here. So its a moot point.
Its after all a thread about kindles.

You want the substrate flexible so it doesn't crack if the device is dropped.
Even if the shell isn't marred, the transmitted shock could still crack the substrate.
I had that happen with one of my earlier ereaders, and I have seen displays crack like that behind the gorilla glass in phones.
