I'm trying to envisage the size of the Kindle DX display:
It's 9.7" diagonally (246.38 mm) and given that it's probably sized in the same ratio as A series ISO 216 paper (think A4 paper), that would make it 7.92" x 5.6" (201.17 mm x 142.25 mm), which is a little smaller than the size of A5 paper - basically a sheet of A4 (or Letter sized) paper cut in half across it's length.
Not as large as I thought at first!
