My Paperwhite 4 is 6.6” x 4.6” x 0.3”. This new one is 5” x 7” x 0.3”. Unless the bezel is significantly smaller (and from the pictures it doesn't), I'll wait for the next version. I read in landscape because in portrait mode the rapid scanning back and forth is annoying.
I upgraded to the pw 5 when it came out and it had the 6.8" screen and I hate it. With the larger screen I can no longer hold it easily with one hand. Looks like this newer version is even bigger :(
I second giving landscape mode a try. There is something more comfortable about it and you get more space to hold onto each side of the screen.
Of note, the screen seems slower to update when waking up or going to the home screen and keyboard touch points seem slightly off and I'm not sure why that is.
