I'd love to be able to pocket something like this and carry it as much as my phone.

Honestly, I'd buy it if not for the price.
Look at Amazon (Or elsewhere.) at the low-end unlocked Android phones.
Most are closer to 4in but they are much cheaper. Say $40-90.

One quickie example:

https://www.amazon.com/blu-advance-2...ile2c262sr=1-4

The screen is only 800x480 but it's 4in and color.
As an everywhere ereader it'll be fine. Think back to the PDA era that ran sub VGA resolutions but were perfectly readable as long as you didn't try to read fixed format PDF.

There are others with better screens at increasingly higher prices, of course.
