On 5" model page
http://www.astak.com/5Ebook_Reader.html
there is:
Resolution: 800 x 600 pixels, 170dpi, B&W, 4 grayscale

On the 6" model page
http://www.astak.com/6Ebook_Reader.html
I read EXACTLY the same dimensions
Resolution: 800 x 600 pixels, 170dpi, B&W, 4 grayscale


So I have started OOo Calc and I have played wit the numbers a little bit.
For the 6" display with 800x600 pixels the resolution is 166dpi, just like with all other readers.

What is unclear to me, what is the resolution or pixel size of the 5" model.
If we keep the same resolution 166dpi we get 664x498 pixels
or, if we keep pixel size 800x600 we get exactly 200dpi resolution.

So how is it with astak 5" model?
What is the real dpi?
Should be 200 ppi for the 5" and the 9.7 is much lower (about 148 I think) but it seems that it is often indicated at a higher resolution. The specs are just not accurate being copied without a brain engaged.
