Yes, unless you've superhero eyes to read in 6pt or smaller, fully justified is terrible in portrait on a phone. I still have a working 4.3″ phone but I don't test on it now. I had the cute 4.7″ super long aspect eink for taking out but gave it away and decided on a shoulder bag for the 8″ ereader. I have a bigger one should I decide to take out the 11" laptop and/or the 14.25″ tablet.

Does anyone sell 18" to 19" laptops? I saw one once with a dual 15.6" screen. The 2nd screen slid out to the side to tile. Sadly my lovely 23″ LG screen isn't very portable.

Media (esp The Guardian) loves to call streaming or broadcast or DVD/BD content for the "small screen". Compared to the back of the cinema most people's screen are now bigger. A 55″ is now cheaper in real terms than a basic 1950 radio was then. Few have less than 42″ now and some have larger. Home projectors are now essentially dead (noise, cost and resolution compared to 55″ 4K HDR TV).

I'm a fan of big screens. Except for Solitaire. I think 6″ 4:3 is good for that, but those seem like dodos now.
