I currently have a rather large liking of digest sized editions of RPG books. For example I own RuneQuest Pocket Deluxe, Traveller Pocket Book, M&M Pocket Players Guide, Savage Worlds Explorers Edition along with a number of indie games that are similar sized.
I have also purchased the Mongoose Pocket Players Handbook and Pocket Games Master Guide for 3.5 (I just wish a POcket Monster Manual had been produced).
So I would love to see a Pathfinder Pocket Edition that combined the essential rules from the RPG along with a Pocket Bestiary. That way I can carry a copy around as a stand by RPG like the others I have.
Would anyone else be interest in such a product?
I have a number of thumb drives that fit in my pocket!
While a pocket book might be nice, what would be left out? It would be less useful than the SRD I think.
Doubly so for a pocket bestiary. You'd have to cut monsters from it and/or important information. It would be hardly more than a 4e MM in the end.
In the end, I go with the normal ten-pound book and the PDFs.

I have a single USB stick (16gb) and an Eee PC to use at the game table also, but pocket books still have some uses (easier to pass around a table etc)

I wouldn't buy it instead of the "normal ten-pound book" but as well as. Give me the stats for monsters ala D&D4e MM so I have them to hand - I can read up and remember the fluff beforehand, at the game table I need to look up the stats.
Also, cutting out art, examples etc can cut space as well.

That's exactly what I did with 3.5 and I would LOVE to be able to do it with PFRPG.
Having a small book with the needed rules handy so that you can peruse them easily is a great incentive for buying such a product when you would not consider buying the whole rulebook.
Of course, a softcover is mandatory (for ease of flipping the pages).

I too have a 16GB Thumb Drive, but my Tabletop Adventure Recording Device™ is decidedly larger than an EeePC. My Laptop is a 17" Beast!
I like having a nice meaty book though. A smaller one looses too much in my opinion.
