As I mentioned in another thread:
Quote:
Resolution : 600 x 1024 pixels
Screen Size : Vizplex™ 7.1 inches
Note that, as it looked from the photos of the unit, the aspect ratio is not the 3:4 one you have on other units. So the 7.1 inch figure makes it seem "more larger" than it actually is. This unit (doing a little high school math) will have a screen size of roughly 3.6 by 6.1 inches. But a "real" 7.1 inch screen-- meaning one keeping the 3:4 aspect ratio of other e-paper readers-- would have a resolution of 768x1024 and a screen size of 4.6 by 6.1 inches. So you are losing a full inch of screen width from what is implied by the listed diagonal measurement.

which means that the "7.1-inch" 900 will be the same 3.6 inch width as your 6-inch 505. It will be 1.3 inches taller. What that means is that PDFs and other documents that already fit the width of your display will be not one millimeter bigger and will just have more white (okay, slightly grey) space at the top and bottom. The extra width will only matter on documents without set page sizes-- those will able to have extra lines of text. (The extra height will turn to extra width in landscape mode, of course-- in that case, the height will be the same as your 505.)
Because of all this, I don't conciser the "7.1-inch" to be a 7.1-inch screen, just an "enhanced" 6-inch screen.
