I believe there are 2 market segments actually , one for "trevel" and one for home reading , the 5" as you mentioned (and as this PocketBook will be) is for trevel - I think it would be excelent device, but for home , when you sit in the armchear and read I would preffer something bigger, also sometimes you (or at least I) need to read technical PDFs that usualy graphical and formated A4 so 6" and for sure 5" just not good for them even with fast scrolling and zoom.
So I personally need two - 5" and 8-10" , as for price ... Kindle DX is less than $500
, but one way or another I would take big Sony for $600 without thinking twice but only if I am sure I the screen will not brake next day with $500 replacement cost
