There was the Kindle DX which was 12.6" on the diagonal IIRC. I guess that's still a bit too small though, and the last model of that came out a decade ago.. I'm guessing it didn't sell well because I've never seen anybody using one.

I knew some professors in college that had the DX and that was exactly why they used it. They could download a bunch of newly published papers/references frequently and only have to carry the DX.

You'd see them roaming about the campus reading them. Eventually I think that swapped out for iPads since they could be used for non-paper things.
