I went onto the other book shop, from the same shopping centre, and discovered that there are 41 novels from Philip Dick re-translated (on some ones the title has slightly changed), the price isn't alike MMPB (13,30 euro), but the format of the four I've seen is definitively pocket paperback. The covers' styling and the kind of paper used in it seem amazing.

That format looks so nice (imho).
A review says there are "random" fonts' changings, idk, I'll look for.
Edit: they don't have letters too close to the margins, or little fonts, just the size features a pocket/paperback format; btw (I guess is a nice, newest, revisited approach).
Edit: thought that those cover images have been designed to look great on b/w e-readers, too.
