The Nook Simple Touch really isn't all that much bigger than many of the other popular eReaders of its time (and later). I think the rounded corners is what people really don't like about it (those who don't like it). It gives it a square look, even if it really isn't square.
Nook Simple Touch – 6.5" x 5" x .47"
Nook GlowLight 3 – 6.93" x 5" x .38"
Kindle Touch – 6.8" x 4.7" x .4"
Kindle 4 (No-Touch) – 6.5" x 4.5" x .34"
Kobo Aura One – 5.9" x 4.5" x .32"
Kobo Glo – 6.2" x 4.5" x .39"
Kindle Basic (8th Gen) – 6.3" x 4.5" x .36"
Kindle Paperwhite – 6.7" x 4.6" x .4"
Sony PRS-T2 – 5.7" x 4.1" x .33 (smallest in the list)
Pocketbook HD – 6.9" x 4.5" x .35"
Etc. ...
The Nooks are about .4" wider then the Kindle Paperwhite (the most popular eReader of all). We're talking about .2" on each each side (13/64"). It's not that huge.
(What surprised me is how small my Sony T2 is.)
