Are you sure of that? Doing that probably means the device spends more time rendering each page. That's more CPU per page, and it probably means more "ink" on the page. Which might mean it's more expansive to draw that page.

And I have no idea. It's one of those things I wondered about when the larger screens came out. If the same apparent font size is used on a 6" ereader and a 7.8" ereader, assuming all else is the same, which uses more power?
