Hi,
I've gone through an evolution of laptop, eink reader and then Android tablet for reading ebooks. What I've decided now is to have an eink reader for solely long-length reading activities (fiction/non-fiction books) and a tablet for internet text consumption (blogs, newspapers, magazines).
Like you, I'm looking for the best next ereader with just functionality for reading books. Due to age, I want an 8inch eink screen for epubs and key factors for reading epubs are:
- can load in own font (APHont, Droid Serif)
- 10+ font sizes
- variable line spacing and margins
It must meet the "easy to throw in bag for commutes / short trips" factor so I'm not going bigger than 8inches (My Samsung tablet has proven too large at 8.9inches)
Candidates to appear to date are Icarus and Bokeen, but I'm going to wait and watch the 8inch ereader space.
Paul
