Looking at one of my old
tête-bêche Ace Doubles (F-237) from 1963, it's paper size is 4.33"x5.51" measuring the outside of the book so ~7.00" diagonal. Sadly, there is a margin on both sides of the page allowing for holding the book and not having text disappearing into the binding. Allowing for those which are approximately .5" on each size and the top and bottom margins, this leaves 3.33" by 4.47" for text for a diagonal of 5.57". A 6" eInk screen is 3.57" by 4.82" active area. Since I tend to use about 2mm left/right margin on my ereaders and minimal top and bottom margins, matching the font size of the Ace double allows me to actually have more text on the screen. An advantage to Kobo ereaders since an ePub with margins set to 0 and the margins slider set to 0 goes from edge to edge of the screen.
