Only a minority of books are 1.7 and that is very narrow.
IMO 2:3 (1.5 AR) would be an improvement. But I wouldn't want to go to the extreme of 1.7. The existing format is to be preferred over an extremely narrow one.

For practical reasons I would suggest 1:sqrt(2) (1:1.414), like regular European paper. This way you can read in landscape with two pages side by side with the exact same ratio as a full page portrait.
