I hope not. I think the days of the 6" screen are just about over.

I think the Oasis has always been about price gouging the customer. Look at the cost of the Oasis vs. the PW5 and Libra and you'll see that Amazon doesn't need to charge so much.

For me, I find my H2O easy to use on the go. It's not too large or too heavy. I know it's only 0.8" larger then a 6" screen but it does make a noticeable difference.

If you do need or prefer a larger font size, the Libra or the Forma is going to do much better then a 6" screen.
For me I, found the 6" Glo HD very preferable to the H2O. The H2O is just too big and bulky. The 0.8 screen size difference didn't make an appreciable difference to me.

The screen of the Oasis is slightly better than the Kobo Libra, and the Kobo Libra is better than the PW4 (or so the people say who have seen both; I haven't seen the PW4).
I've seen the PW3 vs the PW4 and the PW3 screen is sharper and clearer.

Well, dammit, I'm just hoping that I'm happier with this new PPW than I have been with the Oasis. I lurved my Voyage, but now I'm accustomed to the Oasis screen size/clarity. If the cursed thing didn't dig into my hand with that lopsided bar there, I'd love it too. (sigh).

I feel like bloody Goldilocks. I'm still waiting on that final bowl of porridge.

If Reader were akin to porridge, I'd still be reading pBooks. I don't like porridge. I also don't like rice pudding.

Then get the Kobo Forma with an 8" screen.

Yeah 7.8 is best. Kobo Forma is 8".
The problem with the nook is the firmware. It's rubbish.

you hope. why would you want to deprive/stop those who only want to buy a new 6" ereader from being able do so? it's the height of a me, me, me personality. (i don't want a 6" version so why should anyone else have one) please enlighten me to your logic are you perhaps concerned if they make a 6" they won't make a 6.8? if that's your concern my reply would be why can't Amazon make the same Kindle in 6" and 6.8 versions.

I think so, as well. Wireless charging is cool though, but not cool enough to warrant an additional $50.

Both are fantastic with Raisins stirred in. (something to add FLAVOR )

Hopefully not. My PocketBook HD3 is small and easy to carry in a pocket. Even if they do come out with a 6.8" version (which I would be interested in) I would still like 6" eReader for its size and portability. Why does it have to be one or the other?
