Very good table, thanks to give this comparison. You give the screen's name, but not the resolution in DPI. It could be interesting to have them.

For me, using a finger to change a page it's not necessary.
Hi Randy, thanks. If my maths is correct they all are 150 dpi. Yes, I also don't care much about the touch for a large screen like this but having choice is good, some people may still want to easily zoom in and out, which admittedly is a pain using a pen.

Thanks and yeah, true-true, I corrected that entry. Good e-Reader doesn't emphasise it an awful lot on their campaign pages.

Yep, I saw that being said by *people* about Good e-Reader and Boox Max too. Yet, the first managed to get 305% of its $42,000 target so far, which I think is quite impressive, and Boox Max is already shipping. I prefer to remain optimistic especially that I find PocketBook CAD increasingly attractive, despite not being impressed with their 902 model I had back in the day. I especially didn't like the lack of communication which policy they seem to carry on with so I can understand the sentiment.

Even Good e-Reader, who while making a good progress haven't completed their campaign yet, made statement like this. I find that quite funny, looks like the war of words is truly on Other players get nervous too. Hopefully there will be some survivors!

So far I've read that Good e-Reader doesn't have it. Neither does Boox Max it appears.
