PDF-reading would be nice because so i wouldn't have to convert the books to EPUB.
How is it with your 5" readers? Don't you think they are to small? Don't you have to turn the pages to often? That would be much more comfortable on a large screen, including the larger font size and the heavier and not so handy reading device.
I also don't know which small screen devices will arrive this year. Maybe the price point will finally drop for small devices. Then I could easily accept them having a glass screen and being small.

Not sure if there are any new 5" devices coming...
On general reading, I don't find I'm turning pages too often. That could, naturally, be caused by two things, one, there's enough of a page to keep me busy long enough, or, two, I don't really notice turning the page.
I have two devices, one 5" and one 7". I don't think I'd want a larger one than the 7" for a general reading device (you know, one you'll take with you at all times). Even the 7" is rather large for that. When (I don't like to use the word "IF"!) I buy that large screen, it'll most likely be purely for home reading. On the couch or comfy chair. The 5" wlll go with me wherever I go.

I was talking in general. So far, I've not seen many new devices coming on the market when people expected them. Right now, I have the mindset of "They'll be here when they're here, not counting on anything"...
