E Ink specifies their 800x600 display at 90.6 x 122.4 mm, with a 152.3 mm (6 inches) diagonal. Pixels aren't quite square: 151 x 153 micron.

The handling of the 4:3 size will be interesting: Adobe has recommended 3:2 for eBooks for some time. I wonder how well the reader will handle a 3:2 page on a 4:3 screen.
