Ok my reading material includes programming books (text PDFs and CHMs) as well as fiction in forms ranging from PDFs, rtfs, htms, docs, txts and possibly even lits. Now since Astak(Hanlin) is the only one that handles my set of requirements, that naturally became the one I had to get. But now I'm kind of stuck deciding between the 5" and the 6". I'm hoping to get some finer points on the advantages of one over the other. Would opting for the 6" give me more in terms of readability, bigger font size or any other such tangible benefits? Would the 5"s better grayscale be of much benefit for me, when my needs are mostly textual?

Oh and last but not the least, is there any difference to whether I purchase it from

astak.com, theezreader.com or from bebooks site? If so what are they?

I know I seem to be a tad overenthusiastic and it probably is the case. I just hope that my tone of questioning doesn't turn off anyone who wishes to help.
