Indeed. That's why I edited my post, since I reread what he wrote, and you're right.

4) Focus on specific screen-size/font combinations you expect people to use. Probably 5"/11pt, 6"/11pt, 5",14pt, and 6"/14pt are a good start. Eliminate blatant/obvious errors.
I think it's a very good idea to start identifying what we think those would be. Those are probably a good start, but the iPhone screen is probably another one (50mm x 75mm, which is unfortunately not just a different size, but different ratio from the 90mm x 120mm of a 6" e-Ink.

I've never seen the exact specs on the 5" screens: they're at least the same ratio, right?

I also agree that what we're after is not going to be, at least not for a long time, equal to what you'd get giving individual attention to each one, but still ought to be noticeably better than what we're getting with, e.g., the three ePub zoom factors on a Sony PRS-505...
