I *love* flush screens, and I *love* larger sizes. Bigger weights don't bother me that much either as Im normally resting whatever device on my belly in bed.
Surprised they are updating their 6'' as the Glo seems perfectly serviceable but either way am really excited to see what they come up with.
I do think the ebook industry is losing traction but it's kind of like vinyl LP's - its always going to be there so there's always going to be a market for them. I even have faith that an innovative device with an eye catching design and some nice specs has the chance to revitalise the ebook industry totally. All we need is to have some kind of Harry Potter book come out again and we'll have the perfect storm. I reckon Kobo can do it!
