I want more grayscales, faster processor, faster controller, and pocketability...

Besides, the 6" is €289, and the 5" would be €199 (unless they've changed it...). So, it's €90 difference for me. (about $128 dollar)

That's what Griffonwing said, the 6" has a lower resolution...

I never read plain text, actually... My books are generally in mobipocket format and some do contain images.
