The screen is 5¾ inches wide and 2 inches high. (A standard 6" eReader is about 3½ inches wide and 4¾ inches high, so the Neo is noticeably wider.) When using the standard fonts, the 6 lines per screen font comes out to 51 characters per line. I'm not sure how many characters you get in a line with the 8 lines per screen (custom) font, but I'm guessing around 70. (I don't have the customized Neo with me in Texas.) So there is enough text on screen to get the gist of what you're writing. Moving from screen to screen is fast and easy. CMD+(arrow key) to move up or down by screen, CTRL+(arrow key) to move up down by paragraph.
But, again, the object is really to facilitate the entering of text. Not worrying about formatting helps some of us to write more freely. This is also the point of the FreeWrite (though they're more restrictive about enforcing this than is the Neo).
