Which is less than 1.6% different to 3:2 ratio. But you mean 310mm x 210mm or else cm.

Nothing like 16:9 (or slightly better 16:10) and for most reading better than 4:3, which is excellent for 5" to 8" ereaders with one page shown.
A4 is 29.7cm x 21.0cm, so not small.
Letter size is used by about 1/10th of people.

The Nxtpaper 14 is the portable device for documents I've been looking for since 1980s. I considered the Sony DPT models (There are similar Fujitsu), but they are poorer than the Elipsa or Scribe or even the reMarkable.

I bought the 9.7″ Kindle DXG especially for PDF when it was "remaindered"/"Firesaled" by Amazon and it's my worst gadget purchase ever. The 6″ Kindle PW3 is actually better. The 8″ Kobo Sage actually is "better" than the Elipsa or reMarkable (more pixels, lighter, easier to take notes). My Nxtpaper 11 has replaced the Sage for notes. The NxtPaper 14 is more suited to reading big PDFs, or two pages side by side on the stand.
