I bought a rMini and I'm comparing it to my gen 1 Mini. The text on the rMini is definitely sharper. But it also seems *smaller* (looking at a variety of websites) to me and thus harder to read. The settings are the same on both. Is the size of the letters actually smaller with the retina display? Anybody else have this problem?
Got a tip for us?

Bold is on for both. Thanks.

Serious question: does higher resolution affect font size at all?
Nope, text is much clearer and easier to read on my retina Mini than my first gen. In fact, on most web pages I found myself zooming in a bit because of the fuzziness/blurriness of the test, now I don't have to.
No, compared to the orginal Mini the text should be the same size, only sharper. Are you comparing at the same zoom level?
I found myself pinching and zooming a lot with the mini, mostly because of its smaller screen. But the text at the same size should be sharper and easier to read.
