Only bigger text, unless it's compared with a basic 6" @ 800 x 600. Most decent 6" and all 7" to 8" do more words per page than this.
Some eReaders I have in bought order:
  1. Kindle Paperwhite 3: 6" @ 1448 x 1072, 300 dpi
  2. Kindle DXG 9.7" @ 1200 x 825, 150 dpi (apparently same screen without touch). My worst ereader purchase ever. Least number of words per page on this list.
  3. Original Aura HD H2O 6.8" @ 1430 x 1080, 265 dpi, SD card up to 32 G. IR Touch.
  4. Kobo Libra 7.0" @ 1680 × 1264 @ 300 dpi
  5. Boyue Likebook Mars (Android 8.1) 7.8" 1872 x 1404, 300 dpi, SD card maybe 256G (128 G Byte exFat works), audio jack, BT keyboard, BT audio, Playstore. Native PDF reader good, ebooks need KOReader install (trivial over WiFi).
ALL do more text on the screen than the 9.7" DXG or Pocketbook InkPad Lite 9.7". Also the InkPad Lite 9.7" might be lighter than the DXG, but will be heavier than all the others.

I guess if it's the same price as an entry level 6" Kindle (without adverts) it might be good value. It seems inferior to the Libra, Mars and Forma (7", 7.8" & 8").
