I am one of those squarely in the $200 is the magic number for eReaders to become truely main stream. However, I see no reason that the $200 has to be 6-inch. I believe a 5-inch reader at that price would surprise a lot of folks. I recently added a jetBook to my pile of readers and right now I split my reading time between the jetBook (at work) and my EZ Reader (at home). The jetBook gets a lot of time because of size! It fits easily in my pants or sport coat pocket. I am sure that I will buy another EZ Reader or Mentor if either shows up in the 5-inch form!
