Almost, because the Kindle has a built in margin on all sides of the screen. But 2 pixel is actually my ideal.


As for the screen, it's about 4 times faster than Vizplex screen, and there is a much greater difference between the text and the background. If this device could read a common format such as Mobipocket, it would be worth considering as an ebook reader.
