You can clearly see the letters fitting between the 1mm lines (the sub/superscripts being less than 0.5mm). Reading this is NOT convenient, more resolution would NOT make it better from a practical standpoint (only more tempting to mess up your eyesight). There is only so much your eyes can resolve.

Yay! DATA!

I'm not used to metric, so my guesstimation is pretty clearly off. Since you got me back on it, I've hunted down a ruler. On the n810, the letters in my situation at full column are approximately 1mm tall, and 0.75mm wide. By way of comparison, the letters on my gnome-terminals are 1.5mm tall by 1mm wide (eee 901). I use the eee 901 on my laptop with good results on a regular basis. I have to hold the n810 closer, but it works (aside from the low-res-induced smudginess). You're right; that'd be sub-mm.

The other part of your post doesn't have data; only assertions. "Reading this is NOT convenient, more resolution would NOT make it better from a practical standpoint (only more tempting to mess up your eyesight). There is only so much your eyes can resolve."

I dunno; we need some numbers here. It works for me: I read books in fbreader at similar (not same) size.
