      Yeah I had a 5 inch one and it’s acceptable if you have nothing else but I just got a kobo and it’s simply night and day

      Tho yes there are people who will prefer this but I’m confident the average consumer will not

      Tho perhaps the low power notifications or calendaring is useful 🤷‍♀️

      A Kobo is a hell of a lot bigger than that.

      Phones are tall and narrow. For reading books you don’t want to be reading 5 words then having to go down a line. Ebook readers are typically closer to 4:3
