Smile 5" & 6" page simulation?

Hi all, and once again thanks for the advice that you give us newbies!

I'm thinking of buying a 5" display, given the cost of 6" displays!

To get an idea of the use of a 5" device, I am thinking of printing on paper a number of pages in the 5" format to see if I find it comfortable to read.
So what I would like to know is the exact size of a 5" screen (height and width, preferably in millimetres, but I can convert from inches ). I would then like to know approximately how many typical lines per page I could get or the number of characters per page in typical font sizes (say times 9 or 10, but perhaps other sizes and fonts would be more appropriate??).
I don't know if these characteristics vary from one device to another but I'm considering the EZ reader pro 5" or perhaps the Sony300.

Is this a ridiculous idea or unfeasable?

If I could have the same information for a 6" device (sony PRS505 for example) I could compare them.

Thank you in advance, Rojofo.
