The external dimensions are 8.5" by 11" (same as US Letter paper) and 0.3" thick. According to the nice charts at the MobileRead wiki, this is larger than the Kindle DX but also slightly thinner and lighter (each is about 1 pound):

- benatkin 17y agoHmm, I thought the screen was 8.5" x 11". Turns out the screen is 10.5" diagonal. The Kindle DX screen, OTOH, is 9.7". So the screen's a little bit less than an inch bigger, diagonally. Its width, however, is 1.3" bigger (8.5" vs 7.2") than the Kindle DX's, though. They're both small by textbook standards, but the QUE might be pushing it when it comes to eBooks. Edit: It has the biggest screen, and also the longest length and width, of the products in its category. It is lighter than others, though. Its form factor will appeal to some potential buyers, I think.
- wmf 17y agoThe Skiff is even larger, with an 11.5" screen. http://www.skiff.com/skiff-reader_tech-specs.html http://www.skiff.com/skiff-reader_tech-specs.html
- benatkin 17y agoHmm...that one's not mentioned in the mobileread wiki. Thanks for mentioning it. If I had the time and inclination, I'd add it.
