So far, I'm leaning on both... I like the small size of the 5" (I'm used to a 3.8" screen and I have that 7" screen too) but I like the touchscreen of the Sony 600...

I've got the Cybook Opus for 5 weeks now.
If you check the pics
https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...&postcount=145 you see: The difference between Sony 505 and Sony 300, just as an example, really is minimal.
It's about 1/2 inch in width and in height. Does this really increase mobility or portability?
Okay, the smaller the easier to hold in 1 hand. I see that myself when using the Kindle app on my iPhone.
But I can't imagine any situation, where this 1/2 inch actually might be crucial.
To me, the 5" units are at the limit. I can read on iPhone as well. But I do it for maybe 1 hour, but certainly not for 5 hours.
So, if it's going to be your sole reader and you intend to read quite intensively (> 90 minutes) personally I'd always recommend one of the 6" units.
5" to me is "second source", not sole unit.
