If the concern is about the device's overall size, a device with a 9" or so screen, but with a thin bezel, like the iPhone, wouldn't be much larger, than the total size of the Kindle.

I must say, I don't mind the Kindle's physical keyboard (which I would normally consider wasted space), because I read mostly in bed, and I rest it on my stomach. The space for the keyboard places the screen at a good position for comfortable reading.

If it didn't have the couple of inches at the bottom, I'd have to actually hold it up in order to see the bottom of the page (or grow a larger stomach )
