Actually I think paperbacks are often called pocketbooks since they are a size that fits in my jacket pocket.
My Kindle owning friends use them a lot for magazines and newspapers – which I have also rolled up and put in my pocket.
I’d find a form factor that rolled up and/or fit in m pocket useful- hmmmm, my phone.. and this might explain why book publishing is phone focused in Japan…

Very nice vision
Were you ever able to roll up a book and stick it in your pocket? But yes, nice thought.
