Not quite right. The space has decreased from 2.5.2. The space at the top of the screen has varied in almost every firmware revision. At one point for the Touch, the text was so close to the physical top of screen that people complained it was too close. That was corrected in the next firmware revision. For now, if I bring up the menu, the top bar covers the first two lines of text.
Perhaps if they brought back the vignette and quote during loading...
Anyhow, a quick comparison between a Glo and an Aura using David Weber's House of Steel The Honorverse Companion, chapter "Jayne's Intelligence Review, Letter from the Editor", shows I am getting 6 extra lines per page and each line has more characters on it on an Aura compared to a Glo. For instance, on a Glo, the second paragraph on the page starts with "Due to the issues noted above as well as the" while the Aura has "Due to the issues noted above as well as the constraints"
On the Aura, the first paragraph takes 10 lines, on the Glo it takes 12 lines though the last line only has "combatants" on it. The font size on both is set to the smallest size I find comfortable for long term reading though I think the Aura is about very slightly smaller (around 5% going by a quick measurement).
A quick thanks for Baen for not using DRM so I could edit the stylesheet to get the margins and font size I prefer without feeling somewhat of guilt for removing the DRM from the ebook.
