At the moment i am using my phone as ereader and i use both Moon+ Reader and Kindle app. Ive never had e-ink device before, but im looking to buy first one that i am probably going to use at home and when im out i think i will continue using my phone that is in my pocket anyway. So it should be with Android OS and with version 4 or above(some of them have 2.3 but im afraid it will soon be incompatible with most apps), so i can auto-sync apps on both devices. But wich should i buy? So far i have found out that there is:
Onyx BOOX T68;
Prestigio MultiReader 5364
Boyue T62

The best specs has Onyx but that is most expensive -around 200euros with shipping to my country and i think my first should be cheaper because i may find that i prefer LCD to EINK, or that there is much better models coming out in near future.
Boyue and Prestigio are both around 100euros. Boyue has better processor, better resolution 1024X758 but has no CE so it may be returned to China by custom if i order it. Prestigio has only 800X600 but i can buy from local store.

Is 800X600 much worse while reading than 1024X758? Or should is still buy Onyx with 1440 x 1080? Does anyone have used some of these models? Is there any other models out that i should look for? Im looking for around 6inch. Thanks in advance.

EDIT: Or maybe can somehow my Moon+ Readers reading progress be synced with some other ereader with some other OS, Kobo for example?
