I'm already carrying around a 5" phone and I read on that. What I'm looking for is to be able to read on eink and not have to worry about draining my battery.
That's why I'm looking for small.
The bezel on the Kobo mini is big, it doesn't need to be that big for epub and I can't get a very cheap one here either :/

I bought a cheap one from China but it arrived broken!

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.
