Voyage Screen Size

Is it 6" tall or 6" diagonal?

Screen sizes are always measured diagonally.

That's the same as my kindle keyboard then. I was hoping the voyage would be a bit bigger.

No, it's the same size. Much, much higher resolution, though, so it looks a lot better.

Yes, the resolution is *much* better. On my K4 (not very different from the kindle keyboard) I tended to read with about 12-15 lines displayed on a page. With the Voyage, I'm reading with 30-40 lines on the page --- much like a real paperback page. I'm liking it a lot!

The device itself will be physically smaller ( and lighter) than the KKeyboard

I find the extra length of the KK an advantage when reading lying down. The extra hight means I can rest it on my chest and the screen is at the correct hight.

I'll have to find some other way of proping up the Voyage when it arrives in Dec.
