Yes, the Nook has advantages due to maximum available settings. That's part of the whole picture and why in the photo the Nook is showing almost double the amount of text. |

Elementary mathematics. We're discussing screen area, not linear size. The ratio of the area of a 50" screen to a 40" screen is (50/40) squared, which is 1.56.

For me personally, the benefit of a larger screen (and I do appreciate larger screens) is the ability to achieve a typographically pleasing appearance, not to cram as much text as possible onto a page! Last edited by HarryT; 06-01-2019 at 05:24 PM. |

Are you perchance confusing Kobo with B&N? I couldn't find a Kobo ereader with the weight you quoted. And lest we forget, the Oasis 2 has a rather small 1,000 mAH battery which helps keep the weight down but costs reading time but then none of the large screen Amazon or Kobo ereaders have the battery life of the smaller models. |
