Well, the photo shows a text that looks larger than the ebook screen, so either you've pasted wrong image or wrong paperback or mysterious ereader that's less than 7", or it's a strange optical illusion.
I've a Libra H2O and Libra 2 and loads of paperbacks where the text would fit on the screen. The Sage though is more paperback sized if you have margins, or fits the same amount as a larger paperback with small margins.

Despite what Amazon thinks you don't need much margin on ebooks. No issue with print registration, spine and opening it or dog-eared edges. Time Amazon stopped wasting the expensive eInk screen.
