Marvel
hopes to make the screens 8.5 inches by 11 inches, the size of a
standard sheet of paper.

Most of the world -- and certainly most of the target audience for
a next-generation one-tablet-per-child computer -- uses A4 paper.
Only a small part of the world (basically only the USA & Canada) uses
8.5 x 11 inches as a "standard sheet of paper".
