From my complete understanding on the situation, the 6" is being updated according to Robert *hopefully* in the next 4 weeks or so (he doesn't have a confirmed date but no doubt will tell us exactly when he knows for certain). The 5" is not being updated. Infact the 6" is being updated to similar specs as the 5" (400mhz processor, sdhc card slot, epson controller). Given the 6" remained essentially unchanged for the last 2-3 or so years, I would suspect the 5" will remain unchanged for sometime yet (and if you look at the ebook matrix
https://wiki.mobileread.com/wiki/E-book_Reader_Matrix you will noticed the 5" is one of the fastest units there).
The sale price is a special for mothers day.
