These are the basic specifications that i look at when choosing an eReader in order of their priority
A2 mode or Fast refresh mode
High Screen Resolution (necessary for implementing A2 mode)
Dual Touch
Front-Light
Electromagnetic Touch (Stylus)
Hand Touch
Faster RAM and Processor
Battery Life
After sales support
Fast refresh mode is very important to me and i read exclusively in that mode. Average users don't even know about this mode. I thank mobileread user Rizla for introducing me to that mode.
If given an option to choose one type of touch only (Stylus or Hand touch) : I will choose Stylus touch for large sized eReaders and Hand touch for smaller eReaders. We buy large display eReaders for academic reading where note-taking is very essential and stylus will be needed. But i like to use my hands for basic tasks, so dual-touch will be the ideal combination.
New users think that Ram and processor matter, but they matter very less in eReaders. Battery life doesn't affect my core reading experience.
My final verdict : Goodereader device has Dual touch and they are doing better publicity, they will attract more users.
My personal choice will still be Boox Max since i cannot forego fast refresh mode and i like their software (Neo Reader). But i may wait for next version of Boox Max with dual touch.
