Wow! Are you sure about that size? Hell, that's barely larger than an
INDEX CARD!


That's what is affectionately known as a 6" screen. 4 7/8 high is a more
accurate measurement. The Paperwhite is 300 ppi for 1440 x 1080, while
the keyboard is 167 ppi for 600 x 800. I haven't seen a Paperwhite in
the flesh so I don't know how much the higher resolution buys you.

The SONY Digital Paper DPT-S1 is A4 size with 1600 x 1200 resolution.
It's also around $800 and I don't know if it does anything other than
pdf's.


Nope - PDF only. Thanks for mentioning the Sony. You inspired me to do
a bit of browsing - found a nice web site that lists supported formats
for e ink ereaders (but not for color ereaders).

Lots of other info too - reviews, recommendations. . .
