If I'd ever read on a tablet, it will *definitely* be a 6-8 inch 4:3 tablet. I'd even rather have a square tablet than a 16:9 one.
How interesting. Because if you look at the text block of most books, hardback or paperback, you'll find that it's a 10:16 or taller ratio. Nowhere near 3:4.

I'd like a 7" eReader in 9:16 ratio. It would be 0.2" narrower than a 6" 3:4, and 1.3" taller.
Overall, fewer page turns, and it would fit in more of my pockets.
