Of course, I don't have one with me, but I would say will feel different when holding, specially with one hand.

However, the Nook Touch is similar in size and found it very, very comfortable on my hands. The main differences, in my opinion, are the buttons (hardware) and missing landscape mode (software).
Right - and like I said, I'm sure most people will be fine with the smaller size, and probably totally love it. I thought I would too, but after having it for almost a week, I'm swapping back.

On the plus size, I'll get my Batwoman screensavers back.
