For me thinness matters so far as it relates to reducing the overall weight of the device. When you’re reading for long stretches of time, your hand can get fatigued by the weight of the device. My 7 year old Kobo Mini at 135g is far more comfortable to hold than my new Kindle Oasis 3 at 188g. That extra 50g feels a lot heavier than you would think after holding it for an hour.
A thinner ereader would be great if it’s also feather light.
