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.
That's a Libra 2 in the photos. The screen is 7 diagonal. The screen is 5.6" long. A mass market paperback will be longer.

Here's a Libra Colour compared to a smaller than an English mass market paperback Japanese Bunkobon alongside a ruler:

It's still longer than the screen of the Libra, but you actually get the same content at a bigger font size because of margin differences:

EDIT: I don't get how image tags work here...
