This zara is the supreme dunce of all time. He/she/it, having
no
knowledge
of what it's like to read a book on an iPod Touch or an iPhone,
assumes,
wrongly, that they type would have to be so small as to be
unreadable.
Apparently, he/she/it has never seen a paperback book (also
called a
"pocket-book") on the newsstand. For the pages are similar
sized and
most
have even smaller type than the Apple products. I don't know.
Maybe
he's
never read a book. It certainly would NOT surprise me to find
this
to
be
the case.

Yeah, the text size is the same as a paperback book. LOL.

Steve
...and your "image" is maybe 20% SMALLER than a true
iToucn/iPhone
screen.

Once again steve manipulates the result for his not-so-closet,
windowsism.
Not to mention that his image shows the display with some of the
configuration controls called up. When you're reading the ebook,
none
of
the reversed icons/text is up, and the reading area is clear, not
to
mention significantly larger than shown.

If one didn't know any better, one might be tempted to think that
Steve
was actively trying to be dishonest. Sort of like zara and
MuahThing.

Steve's a little better than those two, but he is definitely an
Apple
basher
of the first water, and apparently, not at all shy about lying to
make a
dishonest point.

iPhone and Paperback book - " For the pages are similar sized "

Your words. Not mine.

Steve

And they are "similar sized". Yet the pictured screen you showed is
CLEARLY
HALF the size of an actual iPhone/iPod Touch screen, so your attempt
to
show
me wrong was clearly DISHONEST!


Similar?

12.25 square inches for the iPod, vs. 29.75 s.i. for the paperback-
yeah,
similar, -- like night and day.

zara=spookley, she doesn't know of margins.

Mike

Oops- made a mistake.

6 s.i vs. 29.75. 500% larger for the paperback.


Mike thinks PB books use only 6 s.i. for text and the rest for margins.

Jim / Mike / George Kerby, is to drunk to know the dif.


I'll be burning some bread tonight. I think it's in your bathroom. In
the toilet bowl pipes. Be careful when you take a BM.
