Portability in a smartphone is important to me, and I don’t have any problem reading on smaller screens; when I replace my iPhone 7+, I’d actually like something a little smaller (iPhone X would qualify as it has smaller dimensions with a slightly larger screen, but even a non-plus model would work). 5-6” is much too large IMO.

Likewise, the Voyage seems rather the perfect size for me. One could fit a 7” screen in the same dimensions, but the would probably mean getting rid of the buttons (or moving them to the sides where they might not be as ergonomic). I’d actually be more interested in an eReader with a 5” screen that you could hold like a smartphone (there you could have page turn buttons on the sides).

I don’t understand the argument that the existence of larger smartphones would somehow increase demand or interest in larger eReaders. I understand there are people who would like more choices when it comes to eReaders with larger screens, but I don’t think they are the same people interested in larger smartphones.
