Flash! Kindle 3 is literally pocket-sized
I’ve always been able to carry my Kindles in a pocket, but I have unusually large pockets. On the weekends, I wear a photojournalist vest and those have some big pockets.
However, I did try slipping my K3 into a slacks pocket today…no problem at all.
Just remember, your Kindle doesn’t do well when twisted or if pressure is put on the screen…I’d take it out before you sit down. 
Still, I’d guess it fit better than a typical mass market paperback.
As Ma e-West might have said, “Is that a Kindle in your pocket, or…”

Women’s pants typically have smaller pockets, but I was able to stick my K3 in the back pocket of my jeans, much to my surprise. I did take it out before I sat down!

Thanks for writing, Sherri!
I appreciate that. I was aware of sartorial dissimilarities.
I think people are going to follow Fonzie’s advice with their Kindles sometimes…and sit on them.

Why does the title of almost every post on your blog begin with “Flash!”?

Thanks for writing, Flash!
It’s actually about a third of them…201 out of 662.
It’s a designation that this is timely information. There are posts where I do a lot of careful research…those may be found in the Analysis category, for example. Flash posts are simply breaking news (although not everybody would consider them newsworthy).
That’s it…if it doesn’t say Flash, it is typically intended to be of more lasting value.
