Pocketability Problem with Kindle as well.

I notice that my POCKETABLE Garmin Nuvi 750 GPS is 4 3/4" x 2 7/8" x 5/8". It fits perfectly into my shirt or jacket pocket. The Kindle is 5.3 inches by 7.5 inches by 0.7 inches. It will NOT fit in my pockets. Thus, it is not even good as a Supplementary Book Reader.

The difference is that the QWERTY keyboard is on a non-screen location of the Kindle surface while the Garmin QWERTY keyboard is available within the screen. All control features are available through the SCREEN. Using non-screen locations for important features is LAST YEAR'S technology.

What are the measurements of the Gen3? Is it compatible with Microsoft Reader? If it is pocketable, uses the same E-ink technology as Kindle and can read MS Reader files, it definitely would be better for me.

What is the link to their store?
