Tiny Notebook is too Tiny #14

The Tiny Notebook would be easier to read and handle if it were a smidge larger, including the font size.

Current physical size is 6 inches by 4.

Would be nice if it were an inch taller to fit more content vertically (feels too short to me as it is). A half inch wider to have more inner margin space, and to possibly reduce the number of line breaks in tables (though an increase in font size might negate this).

Also, the font is rather small, and the code font particularly so. I find it a bit difficult to read, but I understand it's difficult to fit monospace code examples if the font were made larger. Is there a narrower monospace font available?

A possible drawback to increasing the book's dimensions: it would probably no longer easily fit into a pocket. I don't know if that's something readers want. I personally have no reason to have it in my pocket.

I'm OK with the size, but a bit bigger is OK too. Tiny makes it easy to grab along with laptop & coffee. I don't put it into a pocket either, but it should fit easily into the smallest practical purse that you see.
