That is a contradiction. The larger the screen real estate, the more likely you are to be able to fit the PDF into it in a size that is readable.

The other day I did a trial with a PDF - just a standard PDF with slightly wider columns.

Even an extra inch added down the side (for horizontal reading) would still not quite be enough for me.

(I like my text (14-) 16 pts)

I am considering splashing out on Elipsa.
(and am feeling slightly crazy even thinking about it!)

Ive just put a question on the other thread about hold-comfort.
Your posts seem to be comparing the Sage to the Libra 2 for PDF performance. I'm not sure why because the Sage has the same screen size as the Forma. PDFs on the Forma has been discussed plenty of times, especially when it was new. And it came up again when the Elispa came out as a comparison. The basic conclusion was that the 8" screen size was better than the smaller screens, but, still not great. The recommendation has always been for a larger screen size for PDFs.
