And with a PW5 you're already starting out with an older battery. Nuts, IMO. Most (and by which I mean overwhelmingly most) users don't care about D&T. I personally slaver over those page turns, but can't justify it compared to the PW5 I already have. And what a great price!

From what I've read, with the 5.27.1 firmware, the page turns of the PW5 have been sped up so they are equivalent of the PW6. All I know for sure is that the page turns of the PW5 have been sped up. As for the screen size, I don't notice any difference between 6.8" and 7". From what's been said about the Kobo Clara BW, I've not seen anyone say they notice a difference between Carta 1200 and Carta 1300. I've not seen any problem at all with the light on the PW5.
The battery being larger and new is better for sure. Probably a newer processor as well.
