My current ereader has a 5 inch screen, which seems really too small for convenient reading. As it no longer works well, I want to find a replacement. Based on my needs and budget, many reviews recommend a Sony PRS-505, but this is only a 6 inch screen. As that is measured at the diagonal. I think this will only add about 0.5 inches to the width and height. Is this a major improvement over a 5 inch screen?
