So the extra page turns are not annoying? I tried reading a bit on my iPod touch (which is only 3.5" . Viewing in standard mode (ie not in landscape) resulted in so short lines that it was annoying to read. In landscape mode (7cm and 640 pixels wide vs 9cm and 600pixel on the kindle 2) the line length was acceptable but the text was on the small side and not as clearly defined as in a paperback.

On the other hand the 6" readers does add 2cm to the width so the text would become larger, so maybe a 6" reader is sufficient.
