Astak has both 5 inch and 6 inch devices.
Dear All:
Astak has both a 6 inch EZ Reader Basic and a 5 inch Pocket PRO. In effect, 5 inch devices are great to read upon as you have the same number of pixels as a 6 inch, squeezed down. The end result is a very high resolution screen that reads easily.
Also, on most devices on the market you can read in a "horizontal" mode. A recent firmware upgrade for the Pocket PRO gave it 9 font sizes and added a visible clock so reading on smaller devices (either Astak or other brands) is really not a problem. There is no doubt that the size of the 5 inch device and the weight (under 6 ounces on the Pocket PRO) makes it ideal to carry. It tucks into the vest pocket of a sports coat or a lady's clutch purse! And... using the SD card slot on the Pocket PRO as an example, you can carry 8,000 eBooks and your music all in your purse or pocket.
All of these things make a 5 or 6 inch device of any brand ideal for reading!
