I noticed that no one gives important clues about this.

Also, the shadows that the H2O produces because of the "raised" bezels is particularly annoying in my opinion. As well as the yellowish screen compared to the kindles. Having to touch the screen for page turn is also an important handicap as no one wants to dirty/mess/soil the screen with the tons of page turns that one will have to make during the ereader lifetime. On the other side, Amazon seems to want to stick with the primitive 6" screen, so it's a real downside that buyers should punish for Amazon to understand that it has to change, since Amazon seems not smart enough to see that it's totally necessary to increase the screen size. If you want a very portable device to read you can read with your smartphone which is only 1 inch smaller. This is a profoundly ridiculous size. We're gonna spend a lot of time reading at home, and it's a total downside having that microscopic size only in pro of portability.

BUT, the most important thing, WHICH ONE HAS THE BEST AND EVEN LIGHT?

That's the real matter. See you.


WOW! I'm sorry you're having such a difficult time.

I'm quite happy with my Kindles and Kobos. For me, the lighting is great!

I hope you get your lighting issues sorted out, and the sizes that seem to give you so much trouble and angst.

I think, in your case, it would be wise to completely avoid e-ink readers. You'll be much happier - I hope!


Have a good day!
