I don't like columns of text or very short lines (so I prefer 8″ ereader to matt screen phone), but don't like too wide, so my browser is about 1/3rd width and full height of screen. I hate sites that don't reflow and hate that Mobile Browser makes sites like PDF, no reflow if you zoom in.

Not quite sure what you are referring to with the basic reading speed? A quick Google search for studies comes up with the majority stating that longer lines are linked to higher reading speeds. Oddly, most of the studies also show that there is a wide variance between the line length where people read the fastest and the line length they feel most comfortable with. Basically, not much science and a lot of personal preference. The results on comprehension varied from shorter lines yielding higher comprehension to long lines leading to higher comprehension to the most popular conclusion that line length having no effect on comprehension.

Find I can read with small fonts, don't use big fonts on my Clara, so can scale it to refect the same page lines and scale as my Kindle 6.8" so get as many lines and words, just slightly smaller on the Clara, as you can adjust line spacing on the Clara.
It's like say comparing a 35" tv to a 40" one. Have the same picture info, just the 40" is a larger scale. Same as the Clara and Libra. By adjusting the Clara scaling can get as many lines and words as the Libra In normal mode unless you make the Libra even smaller So yes can scale the Clara or any other 6" to match a 7" by scaling the screen. The only issue I can see why people are saying needs more page turns, etc, is bad eyes, hense big fonts on the 6" and if ypur eyes are that bad then need a serious eye check. Unless you accually like giant fonts. That's the beauty of e readers can choose and scale the screen to suit its screen size or your liking Last edited by Denodan1; Yesterday at 06:09 PM. |

Kobo 6 and 7 words per page the same
For those who say the 6" is to small and unreadable, and cannot have the same amount of words and lines as the 7 ,you need glasses. Perfectly readable on both
Here I have the exact same scale on both and both have the same exact words. Had to adjust my kindle fonts and space, etc to match the lines on my Clara, so can read from one to the other, abd bookmark the same page. |

Sadly, my old eyes do need glasses and I find I need a larger font size to keep my eyes comfortable.
See attached the screencaps from two of my Kobos showing the same page with the same amount of text on the screen (the Sage is at a comfortable font size, the Clara HD obviously needed a smaller size to fit the same amount of text on the screen.

As for my no truth comment, I think you misunderstand me. I'm not saying someone's preference is not true. I meant that someone's preferences has no relevance to apply to someone elses. Because someone likes 40 character lines, does not imply any reason that should also be the case for someone else. Last edited by rashkae; Today at 08:56 AM. |
