I don't know, I have seen a lot of PoD stuff coming out in MMPG size.
As I mentioned in r.a.sf.w the other day, I just read Ilona Andrews'
recent book _Diamond Fire_ in that format.  I thought both the story
and the printing were deficient but it was an actual newly printed MMPG.

To be honest I do prefer the now-more-popular softcover sizes just
because my vision is poor.
