Does anyone know how much text is on a 5" screen vs a 6" screen? Assuming I am using epub format and the same size font.
Oh, and I've gotta ask, what does the maroon color really look like? On newegg it looks very bright, garish. Is it really a deep maroon?

Dear All:

Here is what I did:

I made certain that both my 5 inch and my 6 inch had roughly the same size font. Then I counted the lines of text to a page.

The 6 inch gets about 23 lines of text to a page (using a large enough font for comfortable reading)
The 5 inch gets about 20 lines of text.

This, to me, is not a major difference. But, that is my opinion.

The Maroon is certainly not very bright and garish. It is anything but that. Think of a red with a definite black tint. Nobody would call it garish. It is a subdued red is what it is in my mind.

I have tried to attach pictures that may be of help comparing the 5 inch and the 6 inch screen. People love the maroon as it does not jump out at you at all. It is easy on the eyes and the gentlest maroon I have seen.
