I realize the discussion about margins is a bit old, but the conversion from points to pixels isn't too hard. Since there are 72 pts/inch, and the PRS-505 screen is 170 pixels/inch, there are approximately 2.36 pixels/point, so 5.0pt = ~12 pixels.

My personal preference is to use a measurement that is fixed regardless of the screen size or resolution (i.e. pt, in, or cm).
