Saying that, I can quite comfortably read on the Desire HD for long periods without experiencing any difficulty. Can't say the same for my previous phone which was a Nokia X6 and its screen was 3.2 inchs, that was a bit small for reading for too long.


I agree, I have Droid X also with a 4.3 screen, and I have to tell ya, it's actually pretty comfortable to read on. I love it when I'm on the subway and it's packed. It's just easier to use the phone than it is to pull out your ereader.

Plus the nook app for android is Fantastic.

the screen size makes it great for reading in a pinch.
