Thank you for the responses. I think it would be a good idea to elaborate were I'm coming from.

I've actually already got a tablet, the Nexus 7 2013 edition, as well as an Asus Zenfone 2. Even on the minimum brightness with light filtering apps, when my head is in that state my tolerance is limited. Eventually I just have to turn it off and avoid technology, because any screen aggravates it. But eventually I get that internet itch to check something and my tolerance is tested again, my head getting worse the longer I look at it.

My standard setting for my desktop monitor is 0 brightness and 0 contrast and that's when I'm ok, to avoid aggravating my head. When it is aggravated even that's too bright and I'm messing with driver values. I'm on propranolol from the doctor to reduce the frequency of my bad heads but it's not a cure all.

I simply cannot read off a back-lit device for prolonged periods.

For the short time I had the Inkbook, I could feel the difference between the backlight being off and on its lowest setting. The e-ink display really made a difference, it absorbed the colour of whatever ambient lighting is in the environment and just blended in. There was also a noticeable difference in alertness when I finally put the device down to sleep, I wasn't spending ages trying to wind down after the last web browse of the day.

I actually found the internet capabilities of the device adequate. Obviously it's not a phone or tablet, but show it patience and you can access most of what you want to. I was able to read and respond on Facebook, check my mail, read and write comments on my news app, log into websites and download Epub books of user written stories. Most of what I do before bed was doable to an acceptable standard (at least to me) on the Inkbook, and I was surprised just how long the battery stayed at 100% during all this. If it wasn't for the fact that it refused to open Google Play e-books; I would have been happy with the device.

So I'm not looking for a tablet equivalent, I'm satisfied with the web experience that the device provided. It was only as an e-reader that is failed, which is pretty important for an e-reader. I'm uncomfortable with the idea of engaging in illegitimate activities, such as breaking DRM, just to be able to read my legally purchased books. It shouldn't be acceptable that people have to go to that extent; just to use an e-reader for its intended purpose.

So in that regard; is the OnyX Boox C67ML suitable? I ask that, but really I can only find one for sale and it has to be imported from the Netherlands... Needless to say if I'm going to have to import; I want to make absolutely sure it's the right one and not do anything impulsive.
