You're right. They don't state it anywhere, but it's implied because 4:3 is one of the standard screen aspect ratios (4:3, 16:10, 16:9 etc.).

Out of interest, does anyone know why manufacturers very often nibble a few pixels off their eInk displays? Poor performance at the screen edges? Something to do with the front lights?

They could be doing it for various reasons. I think front light issues are indeed one of them. I assume the H20 is 1430x1080 and not 1440x1080 because they needed bigger top/bottom bezels for wiring and hardware, but they didn't want to make the device taller.
