That 5" ereader was 4:3, my phone is 16:9. And the current (in my eyes horrible) craze is not so much making phones larger, but rather make them longer. 18:9 is mostly standard by now, and the first 19:9 phones are out there also. I prefer either 4:3 or 16:10... (shorter, but wider, instead of longer but narrower).

Line length is getting too short on those narrow devices...
Yes, exactly. Personally I don't want my phone to be over 5'', because a larger phone would be too uncomfortable to use on the go. I wouldn't read on my phone anyway, I don't even watch movies or TV on my phone (except in a pinch), so a 6'' phone is IMHO a pretty pointless device. Of course other people have different opinions on the matter and obviously there is a market for huge smartphones. They're just not for me.
