What E-Reader Screen Size Do I Need? Measure preferred readable text column width, screen aspect width, and screen aspect height first. This tool converts them into e-reader screen size so the recommendation stays tied to your actual dimensions or specification.
- Preferred readable text column width — Required
- Screen aspect width — Required
- Screen aspect height — Required
- Bezel allowance — Optional
E-reader screen size
Enter the measurements above to calculate e-reader screen size.
How the calculation works
V12 calculation: screenWidth=preferredTextWidth; screenHeight=screenWidth×aspectHeight/aspectWidth; screenDiagonal=sqrt(screenWidth^2+screenHeight^2); deviceWidth=screenWidth+2×bezelAllowance; deviceHeight=screenHeight+2×bezelAllowance. This is the implementation specification for this calculator.
Worked example
Example: Preferred readable text column width = 60 cm; Screen aspect width = 16; Screen aspect height = 9; Bezel allowance = 5 cm. Result: Screen Diagonal = 68.84 cm; Screen Width = 60 cm; Screen Height = 33.75 cm.
