The 6 inch market is flooded, how many more choices for a 6 inch device do you need really? They pretty much come in all different flavors, the gap is in devices that read PDFs. You have the Irex DR1000S for almost a grand (which I have and like a lot but it is expensive for most people) and the Kindle DX that just came out so there's really not that much choice. I think everyone cannibalizing themselves in the 6 inch market is stupid until color readers come out (then there would be a reason to release yet another 6 inch device). Make them larger, maybe a couple smaller ones like Aztec or whoever is making but coming out with the same thing over and over is a little silly now. All it does it makes the price of the old devices drop because there is a new device out and people will go out and find those on the cheap instead of getting the same thing in a new box.
