Using a 24" HD LCD Monitor and Sony eBook Library to view a page in SMALL fonts and 2 pages displayed on the screen, I measured each font at 5 mm.

Using the Sony PRS 505 Reader in portrait mode with LARGE fonts, I measured each font at 2 mm.

There is definitely a difference in SIZE. It is not perception.
