Aura One:Post a picture of the Aura One beside a Hardcover & a Mass Market Paperback
I want to see how big the screen is compared to a hardcover and a mass market paperback.

Trade paperbacks are usually 7.5"-8.2" x 5" in size (most common size is 7.8" x 5"). Hardcover books are usually 9" x 6" in size.

The Kobo Aura One is 7.68" x 5.45" in size and its screen measures ~6.24" x 4.69".
The screen on the Kobo Aura One is still a fair bit smaller than regular trade paperback books, but it comes close to mass market paperback books which are usually 6.7" x 4.25" in size.

Here are two quick snaps for a trade paperback. It's just a touch wider, but a bit shorter than a trade paperback and obviously much thinner! I don't have a mass market paperback handy to do a comparison of that. I personally find the size just about ideal, but I've always preferred the ~8" screen size as opposed to the 6".

thanks! I hope they someday come up with a 11'' ereader.It will be the perfect size with a screen as big as a hardback.
13.3'' available nowadays is just too big.
