Certainly yes, size is an issue, but over and above that, it's entirely
possible to use a Bookport while walking, or doing any number of other things.
A Pac mate doesn't lend itself very well to being used under many conditions,
especially where inclement weather is a factor.

.but if you have a pacmate or pda then why have a bookport?
.Well a bookport is smaller, guess it's all personal preference.
