Or there is PocketBook. They are not tethered to any bookshop, but you can have them set up one for you. The software is a dream, very customizable and they do have some buttons for those who love them (I don't). Screen is perfect, lightning too, they do answer software wishes as far as it is possible and seems to be something more than one person would like to have. CS is a dream, at least here in Germany. They do work with the German library system, don't know if that is also true for Italy. ETA 300 ppi are the Touch HD 3 (6" screen) and the Inkpad 3/Inkpad 3 Pro (7.8" screen).

I've read good things about the Boyue Likebook Mars. Looks like a fun device to set up as the possiblities seem endless due to it being Android. Seems to be a bit on the heavy site though.
Thanks for the reply.
I read a few threads here on the forum and I saw some reviews on YouTube and I think that with both Kobo and PocketBook devices I should still be satisfied. So choosing according to pure aesthetic criterion I would be inclined towards the Kobo because they seem to me definitely more elegant.
But I have to decide if the price difference between the Form and the Libra H2O is valid. How many books in .epub format can be contained within 8 GB of memory, approximately?
