The traditional paperback has a page that measures about 10x18cm.
Where 4:3 really wins, as several people have already noted, is reading pages “2 up” in landscape mode.

The big iPad pro is about the smallest screen where I can still read the full page of a magazine and not need reading glasses. As far as aspect ratio, that really comes into play with regards to matching the page aspect of a document, i.e. PDF's and magazines.
I've never really been concerned with aspect ratio with regards to ebooks. I've read ebooks on my iPhone 7+, iPad pro, iPad mini, Kobo Aura One, Kindle paperwhite and Kindle Oasis, i.e. my current set of active devices, without noticing a big change in my reading experience. I'm sure others have different experiences in that regards.
