Now, if A4 was 200x300 mm, there might be something to crow about!
That is one ... interesting comment

Take a look.



Surely there is a difference between A5 and A4 (like two times difference). There is small difference between A4 and Letter (that we can ignore for a moment). Hence there is a difference between pair with difference and pair without one

Anyway, whole brouhaha is about the Reader size and A4/Letter sized PDFs.

Even if one print A4 sized pdf on two A5 landscaped pages, it would be very hard to read. Sony Reader (and probably STAReBOOK STK-101) useful screen area is almost two times smaller then A5.

The conclusion? To read A4/Letter sized PDFs we need A4/Letter sized Reader, and whoever will be making it should keep price down
