Let's say we have two e-Paper readers: One of 5" screen the other one 9". So if I read the same book on both using the same font size, the book will have considerably fewer pages on the larger device. As most (if not all) of the constructors publish their benchmarks based on page-turns, is it fair to say that to read a given book at a given pace, a larger e-Paper reader will consume less power? Or the extra power used for the larger display makes the difference negligible?
If 2 devices are accurately measured as generating the same number of continuous refreshes on a charge, then yes the larger device allows you to read more for a given font size.
