The new 5" Hanlin will be released by Astak the middle of next month. (It might be sooner, the Robertb is talking). The colour choices for the case are earthtones. Deep purple, offwhite, slate blue, etc. Also, the processor is 400MHz (compared to the 6" 200), 8 gray scale (compared to 4), plus it has the new Epson controller, so the page-turning is must faster. All this for about 200 bucks.

The screen is 1 inch smaller, diagonally, but it has the same resoluton (800x600), so you don't see less text per page, and any images will actually be crisper, esp with the double grayscale.
