Summer 2006 e-mail from Sony - Page 3

NatCh · 07-27-2006, 02:17 PM

I did some comparison prints for the two eink sizes, 6" & 8" -- printed the same text at each size (margins of .01") and compared how much text per page was on each.

I did comparisons on several criteria: number of characters (Arial 12pt), number of words, and number of lines (normalized to 1" margin, letter-sized sheet)

It looks like the 6" screen displays 70~71% of what th 8" one does, or from the other direction, the 8" inch is ~40% larger than the 6".

The whole file (119 pp), worked out to 337 pp for the 8" screen and 526 pp for the 6", or 156% of the number of pages for the smaller compared to the larger.
