Point of Clarification:
The screen is 5.01". Is that diagonal, one side of a rectangle (looks like) or square?
I, for one, have come to loathe the fact that we still market screens by this rather misleading metric. (i.e. diagonal length) I know the pythagorean theorem, but that does not help me if I only know the hypotenuse. Considering that the plethora of new television are now rectangular to resolve the new aspect ratio to accommodate film and fancy TV shows, only knowing the hypotenuse really tells me squat about relative size. I suppose I could figure out the sides using calculus and a ratio of 16:9, but really...
Besides my rant about unsavory marketing, I think that news of this new screen is astounding! For me, the higher refresh rate is encouraging; I have seen the Reader refresh, and it's too jarring at the moment. I'm on the fence about overall price of the Reader (including content), but this seems like it brings the experience that much closer to simply turning a page.
Cannot wait to hear who will be implementing this screen in their product.
