Concept 5" ereader

If it existed I would buy this one (with hopefully a folder/file directory book structure instead of 'collections'):

The images are a total rip-off of Kobo Aura and Lenovo Yoga. How about instead of batteries (what is this, the 90's?), it had solar cells built into the screen (or at least on the back, on the opposite top margin, etc), and you'd never have to charge the device again? Because that shape is terrible.

And instead of USB it came with a small Bluetooth USB adapter for transferring files.

I know what images I used to make this concept. It's the general idea that counts. I like the hold of the Lenovo tablet, I like the bezel-less screen of the Kobo 6", I would like replaceable standard batteries, I prefer 5", etc.
Who's with me?

How's this better than any 5" Android Powered Smartphone? Or if you'd prefer eInk Display - the InkPhone by Onyx?

Nice idea. Make it an 8"-screen and it would be perfect

Since I have now a kobo aura, I would say no to 5". Prior to it I used a PRS 350. Given that the Aura is only like 2mm higher and 5mm wider, why 5"? And make it one Battery, the weight adds up fast. And to be true, unless you could charge them in the reader, I would prefer the standard way of build in batteries. Your handle is of no use to me either. So all in all, count me out

For me, I would like an Aura Mini, but not replaceable battery, sound or atrached cover.

I just stuffed my wireless Apple keyboard into my Levi's jeans pocket for comparison since it has the same battery compartment design.

It felt OK, but I'm not sure people would want that kind of design in their pockets... Even if it was slightly smaller. I think it being straight slanted would be a lot worse.

I'd just like a front light on my Kobo Mini and that would be enough for me.

Flexible shatterproof screen, if you want to put it in your pocket. And I have to agree that I can't stand that shape - solar cells (perhaps the bezel would be an option for this?) would be far preferable for me; otherwise, perhaps in a separate cover, like that Kindle case from ages ago.
