My point is, when I bought the Kindle 4, there was a market (buyers, sellers) for readers (of whatever size, this one particularly is a 6" one) which you can operate comfortably with one hand (look up words in the dictionary and highlight text). I remember I bought the Kindle 4 for $79 without much prior research and knowing anything about readers, the only thing I had to decide whether to buy the Kindle 4 for $79, or the touch version of Kindle or Nook (when it was still a thing) for only $20 more. In retrospect, now looking back from my use case, it was the best decision I made to go with the basic, non-touch reader.

I just wonder if the market is totally dead (where are the buyers?) by now for perfectly one-handable readers of any size. It can be smaller than 6", there use to be such devices, if the screen size is much smaller than 6", it might even work as a one-handable touchscreen device, but I guess for that, it has to be as small as a 4"-4.3" 16:9 smartphone screen, the latter sporting an edge to edge screen.

Thanks.
