This is why my 4.3" Onyx Inkphone gets used so much despite severe software shortcomings ;-)

A 6" kindle has the WIDER display than a (1990's USA) paperback uses for PRINT.
The screen is SHORTER than that same standard page.

Note: I use the tweak/hack (also available from Calibre via the Kindle Collections PI) to reduce the side margins value from 40 to 10 (= 5 per side)
The text matches pretty much line for line (+/-font face variations)

a Plastic bezel is a lot cheaper than paying for a e-ink display of a larger size, JUST to display... Nothing

So, why must there be full sized e-Ink (side) margins??
Are you my secret brother?
