That being said, if you prefer the 6" screen, more power to you. All I am arguing against is the proposition that some are advancing which is that 6" is the smallest reasonable size for a dedicated ebook device. I honestly feel that a 5" screen is a wonderful size for an ebook reader.

I am really sort of surprised that folks would get in an argument over 5" vs. 6". What do people think that everyone in the world has to have what they happen to like. It would be a sad state of affairs if we only had one choice for each thing IMHO. I am glad to see some variety and with exactly the same resolution available in both screen sizes there should be no difference in the number of pages a book takes up so long as you are young and can read the smaller print
