For those who want to read graphic novels then at present the Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 8.0 inch is the best possible model out there... it's super thin, super light and the battery life is super if you dim the screen a little... if you use night mode to read only text, the Super AMOLED screen will use very little power, so battery life won't be much of a concern...
After reading comment on here, and hands-on actual Kindle sizing, follow-up reviews on few e-book makers such as Kobo, Nook, Sony, PocketBook, Onyx Boox...
My thoughts are:
0# Pace of e-book devices evolution is slow compare to tablets, pricey even for simple - yesterday technology (and device ends-up much larger than its tiny screen).
Only + pts is lighter than tablets.
1# Kindle Paperwhite 3 current having best screen, though 6 inch screen is kinda of small for me. (which is basically the screen-size of Kindles)
2# Kindle, Kobo, Nook... all uses different closed OS system book ecology, to lock you down to use only their book-resource library.
3# Only few e-books are larger than 6 inch, beyond 8 inch the device size seems rather too large for commuting reading and pricey.
So in the end, gotten a Onyx Boox T68ML:
- 6.8 inch - >30% screen space of 6 inch, yet right-size for 1 hand reading during commuting.
- based on Android OS access to Google Play allow cross access to multiple book ecology Kindle, Kobo, etc bookstores. Also support 3rd party e-book format reading.
-Sufficient high resolution dpi, almost as good KPW3, with back-lited.
- Can use MicroSD as expanable storage - upto 32GB.
For Android, get device with at least 1GB Memory, 8GB storage :for App speed, install apps & books storage, 300 dpi. If cost not a issue: I would bought a T76 plus.
Last time, I bought a very first generation of Nook's eink e-reader, it about 6 inch. Experience with it was very lousy, can't read pdf well, slow & feels that screen size is too small for me.
Decided to revisit e-ink technology after my Samsung tablet dies & really want to do some serious long reading without straining my eyes.
Last year 2018 dec, I bought one 7.8 inch e-reader from Gearbest after some review, so far so good on this China brand as it perform quite ok. Pdf on e-ink still readable, reading manga quite ok & it can install Android apps.
I wish for a bigger size but the more big size it goes, the more expensive it is.
Gotten the Onyx Boox Nova Pro 7.8" this week. After updating the firmware and tweaking the apps individually (through optimization option) I am happy with the performance.
Wau...i thought 7.8 inch is considered quite big liao. Too big difficult to bring arond, in my opinion
