I am quite satisfied as a user of a Kindle 2, and I am not looking to switch. However, fugazied, look at your own avatar picture of a Kindle 2. The screen has header and footer areas. Then it has a top, left, right, and bottom margin. If you measure the actual text area you will find it is under five inches. I understand, that the screen is 'pretty', but if you had a 5" device that used the full screen for text it would be larger than the Kindle 2.
