I do agree that the 6" screen size will be with us for a while. But I think sales of the 6" screen will drop as larger screens sell more.
It's the width that makes the difference on whether it will fit in your pocket, or not. The Libra 2 is over 2" wider than than the Clara (almost a third again wider) and about 1.5" wider than the GL4. Essentially the Libra 2 is a square, it would be like taking the Clara and trying to stuff it into your jacket pocket sideways. It won't work. The width of the new 6.8" Paperwhite would be better for portability, with its 4.9" width vs the Libra 2's 6.4". Basically the same size and shape as Kobo's older 6.8" readers.
