what is the "normal" e-ink screen size?
I toying with the idea of creating some short comic especially for e-ink devices. On the other hand - maybe the screen size is simply too small to be worth it. Anyone here knows the most widely used screen size for e-ink readers?

The overwhelming majority of eInk devices have a 6" screen with a 4:3 aspect ratio.

Thanks harry! So lets see ... 6 inches = 15.24 cm
That must be something like 9,21 x 12,28 cm

The most common 6in displays have pixel counts of 600x800.

Worth noting, though, that many of the more recent devices have higher resolution screens. The 212 ppi 758x1024 screen has been around for a couple of years now and is very widely used, while the latest Kindle Voyage has a 300 ppi 1080x1430 screen.
