Just for reference, I did a quick measure of effective text area between my PRS-505 and some books:

Mass-market paperback (Harper Collins: Pratchett/Mort): 123.5cm² excluding header
Other PBack (Penguin Red: Toole/Confederacy of Dunces): 134cm² excluding header
Typical Hardback (Viking/Penguin: Benioff/City of Thieves): 193.5cm² excluding header
PRS-505 (custom typeset PDF novel, pretty screen-filling): 93.5cm² no header to exclude

It's not significantly smaller than a standard mass market paperback...similar width, but a bit more squat.
