If it's bigger than my hand, it'd look ridiculous & get in the way.)
You can completely hide the PEz (without cover) with a standard MM paperback, and it is a lot thinner.
(In case: I was too subtle: That is the same book under my PEz.)


Page turns are faster than when reading said MMPB as there you need to move your hand, catch the page edge and flip.
With the Pez you flick the "wheel" or press a button. The "flash" does take a tiny bit of time.
I think it is not a fair comparison to measure page turn speeds against a computer/PDA with LCD display.
