That's a comfortable reading size for me.

240x320, the physical 6,7cm diagonal sounds rather small, but I can comfortably read with 13-14 lines at about 6-8 words per line.
Then again, it's good that I scroll ahead a page about every 20 Seconds, because Mobipocket doesn't take over the Keylock and Screendimmer that activates after 30 Seconds

It's a small screen, definately nothing like the true Readers out there. But it'll keep up with any Palm, and since you're interested in converged devices, I suggest you take a look at a p1i in a store. I took a picture, and with the flash it really looks smudged, heh heh
