Yes; sorry about the typo, which I've corrected!

If that is of any help?

Thanks EA. I measured my attached image on post 11 with an onscreen ruler, and it is almost the same just a tad shorter maybe.

In case people haven't noticed, there is an attachment on post 11, which is a blank white jpeg image(dumb me, I should have chosen another color). This image gives you an almost real life size of the actual screen dimensions on which you can expect to read on the 505.

Thanks for giving the resolution Pat, and I appreciate the effort, but may I point out a very small thing, without offending you.

The screen resolution does not always give you an actual idea of how well you can read on a screen. For example, my original PC had a 14 inch monitor, on which the best resolution was 800 X 600. Now I have a netbook which is having the same resolution but the screen is only 7 inch diagonal (I know its a bit crazy for a laptop, but the battery life is amazing, and gets basic movie,music,browsing done:-) ). But the readabilty is much less compared to the bigger screen on my old desktop. Everything looks cramped and smaller.

So thats why I pointed out, with the same resolution, the screen sizes can be different, and even if the same exact content gets displayed, the SIZES would differ. Thats why I resorted to this rather dumb way of trying to post an exact screen replica here.

BTW, I have not yet got a device. Hopefully within two weeks. And then I will join the ranks of thousands who reap the benefits of your hard and devoted work with the books posted here. Thanks Pat, in advance.

Cheers

Dave

Because of the menu bar at the bottom, the reading area is actually 11.6 cm instead. If I was making custom-sized PDFs for the Sony, I would make them 9x11.5 cm.

Hmm.. interesting info. I should note this down someplace, so that I would know how to edit a pdf later for fitting it on sony. Thanks Ea.

I just measured the screen and did some trials until I found a size and page setup that fit me
