I have four makes of 5" screen readers, Kobo Mini, Sony PRS300 and 350, Ectaco Jetbook Lite and Aluratek. IMO 4.3" screen is too small for me though there is a Chinese ereader with that size screen commercially available on ebay. I prefer 6" or larger screens for reading though the 5" screens are usable and the smallest of my 6" screen readers is about the same size and weight as the 5" readers, with factory covers where available. An interesting hobbyist project but not that practical seeing as how used Kindles and Kobos are available so cheap on ebay or from places like shopgoodwill.com and customizing firmware info is available here for both. The Ectaco even uses 4 AA batteries for power, alkaline, NiMh or Energizer Ultimate lithium. The Ectaco and Aluratek use LCD screens while the others are eink.
