They had the 5" mini (rebadged Jinke V5, like many others used) 6" seemed the sweet spot (price). FWIW a 6" is the same width as a MMPB (5" if you just wanted a text filled screen (minimal side margins)

I don't (e-ink), so everyone else doesn't mentality is ruining options. Sales under nnn,nnn per month must be a bad product. The design effort has been paid. Now it is just shelf space. My dad bought a HP35 calculator. HP figured a few engineers would pay $400 (1970's). They sold out fast. Ha, they could not make them fast enough and went back to the design and cost reduced the case and keyboard (and the price came down to $150 over time) RPN
I put it 'everyone' in bold italic because I meant it as hyperbole. Even so, it has been stated enough that the impression, IMO, is that the (vast) majority of ebooks sold are read on phones/tablets.

FWIW, I read on a dedicated eink ereader.

I used to read eBooks on a Fire tablet.

When I finally decided to get a dedicated eReader, Amazon had locked down downloads, so I ended up going with KOBO after backing up my library to Calibre. I'm sure I'm not the only one, but I do expect my behavior to be in the minority given current reading stats.

I switched to the Kobo Libra Colour for most of my reading, and it's perfect except that I don't really need colour. I want the page turn buttons more than I don't want colour, so there's that. I still have my old Kindle Oasis, but I like the UI of the Kobo better, and the metal Oasis is cold when reading in the winter. (It is winter here in Australia.)
