I don't see 16:9 as inherently ill-suited to reading. Legal-size paper has a 1.65 ratio, after all, solidly between 1.33 and 1.77. Though 14:9 would cut the difference evenly. Size and weight matter, yes, but ratio is pretty flexible. Very high ratios just mean text is better presented in a two-page layout, or even as several columns, when viewed landscape mode.
