Wait, a 5" reader will require more page turns than say an 8.1" Irex, but the screen should display the same amount of information as on the 6" e-ink screens (assuming you use the same font size). Both the 5" & 6" e-ink screens are 600x800 (see the matrix on the wiki). The print on the 5" screen will look smaller (& a bit sharper although this might not be enough to be perceptible to the user), and you will have to decide whether or not you prefer a larger font & then less info on a page. So, the 5" & 6" screens should be comparable for frequency of page turns. Maybe I'm missing something?

Cheers,
Dave
