The Oasis screen size is going to be the same physical screen size as your 6" Kindle 4. Both are 6". The Oasis does have physical page turn buttons which are great but it doesn't have a select or cursor pad in hardware buttons, so that might be something you would be lacking. No newer Kindle has these buttons.

As long as it has a D-pad, the screen can be of any size (assuming a light enough body), since I operate with the D-pad, not a touchscreen.
If I am to operate a touchscreen with one hand, there is only one size for me:
Or if the screen goes from edge to edge on any next generation phone, it's something like ~4.2"-4.3". I tried the ~4.7" size, it doesn't work (for me).
Answer on everyone's answers: strangely, you, collectively recommended the Oasis (a ~$300 device), then the Voyage (a ~$200 device), then finally, the Paperwhite (a ~$100 device), so hopefully I don't necessarily have to go with the most expensive solution for my simple use case. Yes, only the Oasis has the physical page turn buttons (yet), which is a major bummer.
A 4:3 6" e-reader screen is exactly as tall as a 16:9 5.5" smartphone screen. So I get it, I can highlight text on a 6" reader with exactly the same ease (or difficulty) as on a 5.5" smartphone. Not impossible, but not particularly handy. I can similarly look up words in the dictionary, if the word in question in the left/right side of the text.
