Dear Dale:
YES, our specs show the wrong sizes in inches and the right sizes in metric on our website. Trying to get a website change is sometimes longer than you want. Sorry!
THe corrected dimensions are:
5 inch: 7.5 inch (h) by 4.75 (w) by .35 (thick)
6 inch: 7.8 inch (h) by 5.00 (w) by .35 (thick)
9.7 inch: 10 inch (h) by 7.68 (w) by .55 (thick)
Resolution is: 170 dpi at 800 by 600 pixels on the 5 inch and 6 inch
Resolution is: 170 dpi at 1200 by 825 pixels on the 9.7 inch.
As always, we get our specs from the factory. ANY factory can be a bit wrong but they tell us that this is correct.
While I am on the subject of the Astak eBook Readers, we have decided to do two versions of of each size. Amazon/Mobipocket will not allow other formats on their machine. So, we will have a "LiteBook" in MobiPocket and a "Mentor" in Open Format which will be eReader. We are also going to sweeten ALL deals by offering free books included and coupons for savings for other books. We want to have the best overall VALUE and save the end user on BOTH the initial device purchase AND on starting off their library.
