You've said this a couple of times, so I'm taking it up with you (hehe, sorry, but screen size was my main issue in iLiad vs. Reader): your comparison is off, by quite a bit, unless my paperbacks and hardbacks are a
very weird size. Photo, to prove it, is attached.
The paperback in photo is: 17.9cm x 10.6cm, diagonal: 20.8cm (8.3")
iLiad screen is: 16.4cm x 12.2cm, diagonal: 20.3cm (8.1")
Hardback is: 23.4cm x 15.3cm, diagonal: 27.8cm (11.12")
The iLiad is a bit shorter and wider than a paperback, that's why I format with practically no top/bottom margins, and 1.4 side margins. The Sony Reader is a lot smaller, it's only the same size as a paperback if you
include the case.
edit: I have quite a few paperbacks falling to bits, which was useful for this photo, heh.
