Is the extra .8'' on the H2O worth the extra $$ ?
Hello,
I've had the Kindle 3 and the Nook simple touch some years ago. For some reason, they both ended up with cracked screens.
I really read lots of pdfs; math, physics, engineering etc . . . Of course, I'm aware that the optimum reading experience for such documents requires a 9+ inch reader. But, obviously, I cannot afford the prices of such ereaders. My ceiling is $200. I've been hoping that by the time I decide to buy another ereader, the prices of 9+ inch ereaders will be less than $200, but, as we know, that is far from the case.
Anyway, I have had my sights on the Kobo Aura H2O for the past couple of days. There's also the glo HD, which is £25 cheaper but at only 6''. The question is does the extra .8'' on the Aura H2O matter at all. Will that benefit be noticeable?

PS: I'm not interested in getting a tablet. If I get the Aura H2O, I intend to install KOrewader for pdf and djvu reading.
