Approximate format sizes in inches:
A5 -> 5.8 x 8.3
A4 (double A5) -> 8.3 x 11.7
MANGA -> 5.0 x 7.5
Double MANGA -> 7.5 x 10
USLETTER -> 8.5 x 11
EINK 10.3 3:2 -> 5.7 x 8.5
EINK 13.3 3:2 -> 7.4 x 11.1
I get that 10 inch eink screen are (a lot) cheaper than 13 inch ones. However, A4 size is SO MUCH more useful as paper document replacement.... which is what eink was meant to be in the first place.
10.3 inch is not usable for:
OFFICIAL DOCUMENTS (A4/letter) -> Unreadable text. This also applies to papers, especially technical, for unreadable tables and drawings.
MUSIC SHEETS (A4 & similar) -> Unreadable music notation
DOUBLE PAGE MANGA -> Double drawings
SERIOUS (university lectures) NOTE TAKING -> this might be a matter of preference but I have never seen people taking notes on paper smaller than A4/letter
13.3 inch mainline linux eink would be such a game changer
Hope to see one too someday
