7": 1600×1200 (285.71 ppi)
7.5": 1600×1200 (266.67 ppi)
Higher dpi for small screens.
6": 1080×810 (225 ppi)
6": 1200×900 (250 ppi)
6": 1400×1050 (291.67 ppi)
6": 1600×1200 (333.33 ppi)
Above screen resolutions are arbitrary but chosen to match the current 4:3 aspect ratio.
Kobo can decide to change screen size / resolution / dpi.
Current ereaders still can only display 16 grey scale levels. I really would welcome a 32 or 64 grey scale level reader. But this is in the hands of E Ink not Kobo.
Color screens are also welcome but only if the colors don't look faded or pale. The colors of the latest generation Triton screens still don't pop out compaired to TFT/LCD screens.
IMO not really ready for the market.

I don't care about the decimal sizes but I am with you on the smaller bezel. Every time I cast eyes at the Aura HD I think picture frame for some reason.
Of course it is good for those with oversized hands, but one of the lesser reasons I seldom use it is that I like to read one-handed and it takes me several tries to get it positioned right. Even best case, I will accidentally bring up the menu while trying to turn the page.
