Yes, I'm fond of my Sony PRS-350 5". I looked at some of the current small eink readers and thought they were too elongated aspect ratio. A 5" 300 dpi model with touch and buttons on bottom edge would be nice. Putting them on the side makes it too wide, though you could put them on the sides at the back.
Does not need WiFi, BT, audio, front light (though that's an OK option) or wireless charging. Doesn't need SD slot if it has 8 G memory, who is going to read PDFs or Manga on 5", which is only reason to need SD slot if memory is less than 32 G.
Should have user accessible database and USB mass Storage mode. I don't mind WiFi if they use the chip that has FM radio and BT also and they put 3.5mm jack and GUI to play music or radio while reading.
Also needs to be about $50 or not many will buy it.
