Look at all that screen real estate. Utterly wasted on ads and super tall fonts.

    Yes, look at the screen resolution of your phone (mine is at 1080x2340 by 6.38 to 2.97 inches) and then at an old palm PDA from the early 2000s with 320x320 (or at tops 320x480 by 4.8 to 3.1 inches) and now compare what amount of text you can display on each. The Phone should be able to display soo much more Text, but it doesn't because the Fonts are so tall.

    Thats what I mean.

    Because modern phones are somewhere near 400 DPI the fonts are rendered much larger so that they appear more clearer.

    If you ran it at 72 DPI (like 90s-era monitors, not sure shout PDAs) you could fit an insane amount of text but would it be legible?
