And for reading I can imagine that the slightly bigger size is more comfortable. So the only issue might be price, though the difference is not much.
The main issue I find with the 5" CyBook Opus, compared with the 6" Gen3, is that the Opus can comfortably be used one-handed, whereas the Gen3 cannot. I really do prefer the Opus.
