Talk to eInk about that. For some reason, they manufactured the Carta panels with 10 pixels less in the vertical dimension compared to the equivalent Pearl panel. Using 265 pixels/inch or 10.4 pixels/mm, that makes the Aura H2O's Carta screen approximately 6.76" (171.76mm) diagonal while the Aura HD's Pearl screen is 6.79" (172.53mm) diagonal. Rounding to 1 decimal place, would give both of them a 6.8" screen.
