On a serious note, I do see your point, but the difference between the 5" and 6" is not enough (IMO) to matter all that much as long as it doesn't extend like a Kindle 2 keyboard. Likely it would have to drop to a 4" for ultra portability, which starts another issue entirely. I'm just getting tired of devices (mp3, e-book, cell phone, whatever) that make the bezels so small that you have virtually no place left to hold the device except the very edges where I'm afraid of dropping it for lack of grip. Or there is only one spot, usually the bottom and only convenient for holding it for portrait viewing which takes away choices for how to hold onto it.

On a more humerous note, I'm quite surprised that I like it as much as I do since big bezel reminds me of '80s styling for electronics though the sleek black & chrome finish helps a lot.
