The six-inch fits in your pocket without any problems. 
PS: Of course, it depends on everyone's preferences. At home, I also prefer the screen version, but outside the home, I prefer the 6-inch version. |
It depends on the size of the device.
nook STR: 6.5 in (165 mm) H 5.0 in (127 mm) W 0.47 in (12 mm) D
Kobo Libra H2O: 15.9 x 14.4 x 0.5 cm (6.3 x 5.7 x 0.2 in)
So the nook STR is overall larger then the Libra H2O.
It also depends on how you carry your Reader. I can easily carry my original H2O no problem. I have a bag I sometimes take with me that I can put my H2O in and keep it safe. I've never ever wanted to put a Reader in a pocket. I treat my Readers carefully. I don't think that because I have never broken any screen that I'm safe being less lax.
