I have a 9.7″ DXG. Nice bright screen because no touch. But rubbish for PDFs compared with even old H2O 6.8″ because DXG only 167 dpi approx? The DXG is simply brighter/better contrast than DX, but the model was a failure at intended market for text books because of poor SW, too slow and too low resolution. No doubt that's why Amazon waited for a 10.2″ screen to do the Scribe.

I'd imagine a 13″ @ 150 dpi is similar to 10.3″ 227 dpi but inferior due to weight. I considered the two sizes of Sony years ago and thought the 13″ model was really for office desks and smaller one too expensive. They were aimed at paperless office concept, not reading.

I wear 3.5 strength reading glasses. They are not very flexible on reading distance compared to people not needing reading glasses.
