The right size ebook reader still isn't available as far as I'm concerned. I want something that will go in my pocket, but still have a decent screen area.

Mass market paperback is about right. It's also the size that was used for various 'pocket' editions before paperbacks came along.

To give concrete examples.

I have here a rather nice pocket edition of 'Kidnapped'. It's outer dimensions are 175mmx115mm(x15mm). The text block area (neglecting headers and footers) is 135mmx80mm.

I also have my Kindle 2i. It's outer dimensions (in Amazon case) are 208mmx145mm(x20mm). The text block area (neglecting headers and footers) is 92mmx80mm. If I take the whole eInk area, it's still only 120mmx90mm.


The 2i, although wonderful in many ways, is too big physically and too small in screen area.

I want more screen, in a smaller device. What size of eReader are other people waiting for?
