I am a Kindle 2 owner (6" screen), and after having my Kindle for a couple of months, I bought a Sony PRS300 Pocket Reader (5" screen) mostly for borrowing library books, since the Kindle does not allow that. I have just recently sold my Sony 5" reader and ordered a Nook WiFi, which will have a 6" screen, same as Kindle, and allows borrowing of library books. I sold my Sony Pocket Reader with the 5" screen because -
1. The 5" screen just seemed so small, after I was used to reading on the Kindle 6" screen. I didn't feel like the page turns were excessive, but were noticeably slower than on the Kindle.
2. I like having the Next Page buttons on each side of the device. My Sony Pocket Reader had one round control button in the center at the bottom, and I found it hard to read one-handed like that, it was hard to hold it and reach across with my thumb to press the button for page turns.
Maybe if I had never read on a Kindle, the 5" Sony Reader would have been satisfactory, but since I was used to the 6" screen on the Kindle, I found the 5" to be too small. If I were making a recommendation to someone, and if you can afford it, I would definitely say get a 6" screen.
