No one said you aren't allowed to like putting ereaders into pockets, I do too, but who said one is only allowed one ereader?
Your argumentation is like saying home soundsystems are stupid because the speakers don't fit into your trouser pockets. Some of us have soundsystems AND IPods (or whatever they fancy for their commute).

1) JSWolf did not specify 'tiny pocket', I've got jacket pockets which fit the Kobo H2O very comfortably. JSWolf has, in the past, said you shouldn't put an ereader in your pocket.
2) And no one said anyone said that. However JSWolf has repeated the same thing about it not fitting into a pocket as a feature, it got a bit tiring. Especially since you CAN fit it into most of the pockets that would fit the Kobo HD and the Kobo H20 which are arguably the predecessors to the Kobo One.
3) Don't put words into my mouth, at no point did I say it was a bad design to increase the size of the device. Nor did I say that Kobo should have considered making the device slimmer so that it could fit in pockets.
What I said was that the device not fitting into a pocket was a good feature for JSWolf, but that others were not going to share that view. Which implies that's why Kobo isn't bragging about folks not being able to put the Kobo One in their pockets. As I, and others including yourself, have noted the comments of it 'not fitting in a pocket' being a feature were brought up an annoying number of times. Most of the comments having anything to do with those are from a single poster.
