You need 4.2" for a 5" reader.
Dear All:

Before we all forever get embroiled in jackets and sweaters and such... the screen on any eBook Reader is measured diagonally. This goes back to the days of the 9 inch RCA Victor TV in 1946. I still own one and it still works with original picture tube.

I think what is meant is that it will fit handily in a sport coat or suit inside (chest) pocket. Someone somewhere believes all men run around all day and night in sport coats. It will also fit easily in your jeans upfront pockets. You cannot put it in your back pockets as you would crack the screen when you sit down.
