I, too, would like a 6" equivalent of the Aura One. It would be nice for backpacking.
There's no rule saying you can't have an up-market 6" e-reader. Amazon seemed to do okay with the Voyage and the original Oasis.

I don't avoid buying the H202 and ONE because they are too expensive. I don't buy them because I'm not interested in the larger screen.
