Hmm, that's a very good point. Upon further research, it seems that most of the eReaders out there use a glass panel that's rather prone to breaking.
I was expecting something like the "bullet-proof" glass that's being used in many smartphones (including the iPhone).
In any case, it looks like the 5-inch readers would only fit into the large side pockets of cargo pants... the type which I have no intention of wearing.
They would fit into the inside breast pocket of a blazer, but I won't be wearing one during warmer seasons.
Guess I'll have to either stick to my current smartphone for reading on-the-go, or change my habits and start carrying a bag for a dedicated eReader.
