Well, 4inch screen an 5inch screen is a big difference. Also, I don't think these devices would have any where near the same battery life with continous use. Finally, a backlight screen is not going to be anywhere near as readable in daylight.

But, yes, to catch some light on the road reading and be able to support more formats it would definately be an option to consider.
