I bought a Kobo Clara hd (6") especially for the reason to be able to carry it around in a pocket so that I can always have it on me
Comment on The first folding e-reader is smaller than a paperback

Who asked for this, I don’t expect many people want a pocket able e reader to carry around every day, I carry my shitty old Kindle in my backpack if needed, otherwise I just listen to audio books or read ebooks on my phone

Yeah my Kindle is around 6 Inch as well, which while it fits my back pocket, not something I’m keen to carry with me everywhere, I only like reading on my slow e ink screen when I have free time to comfortably sit and relax, which is usually at home or back when I had an hour long train commute to work. Otherwise my phone is better, audio books in particular are really good to listen to while walking or doing some activity.

Me* listen, it’s just one of those things you have to try for yourself, when I got my first foldy phone I didn’t get it specifically for reading (I had other more important use cases in mind) but man when I used it for the first time to read a book it was AMAZING to be able to hold it like a book.
Idk maybe I’m weird, but it’s the little things like that lol
*But I want an eink version, but that might be a ways off :(
