Well, I am certainly not going to try to convince you that your choices are wrong -- for you. And I think that is the important point here, everyone is different. The problem I have is that some people here seem to be suggesting that a 5" device shouldn't be made at all. I have been using a 5" device for 4 months or so now (The Jetbook) and I find it a wonderful way to read. Also the fact that it is using an LCD screen versus eink means page turns are fast and I think (not sure mind you) the screen is more durable than the eInk screens. In any case, I can assure you, having used both, that there is a world of difference between reading on the 5" screen or the Jetbook and the 3.5" screen of the iPod.
