One option would be to adopt Metric Paper sizes, such as A5 and A6.

Minor nit here is that the Nook Color is a LCD device while the Nook Glowlight 4 is a eInk device. Most of the screens that eInk supplies for ereaders have a 3x4 aspect ratio.
As claiming a standard aspect ratio for TVs? Perhaps you don't remember the 'good old days' when most TVs were 4x3 aspect ratio before HD and 16x9 becoming the common aspect ratio.
