   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.
