I think you completely failed to understand the point.

I want to read with bigger fonts too! BUT it doesn't matter whether it is 7", 9" or 123" tall if the width of the screen is the same as in 505, then you will get on the new reader exactly the same amount of words per line as on 505, unless you prefer to read in landscape, which is:
1. a pain in the neck on 505, because the lower lines are half-invisible & page turn is a lot slower.
2. you will have to turn pages a lot more often than in portrait mode.
