Yes, it's a 5", 16 level grayscale LCD with a 640 by 480 resolution. If you follow the links in the second post, you'll find the tech specs.

I have a Kindle, and used to have a PRS-500. Many of us feel that a margin of more than 2 or 3 pixels is a waste of the screen becuase it means fewer words can be on it at once.
