Hello fgdas and thank you!
New devices are always great news, especially e-book readers, which sometimes seems forgotten by vendors (they all probably assume, we're going to hurt our eye reading from 6" tablets).
Now, I'll push the question a little further - are you talking specifically about A4 size devices? Since, smaller size devices are still coming out now and than (at least, AFAIK). Moreover, will the screen technology be different, as far as you know? Since, with all due respect to processing power and memory (and I'm not kidding, more of those will probably allow us run higher versions of Android/Windows, therefore allow use of Kindle or any other subscription service, which is always appreciated - since as I guess, many here cannot allow any more space for physical books and/or do have such subscriptions), so with all due respect, the most important part of the reader is screen technology. I'll be happy to know more about those, if you can share more information.
Since, if some of those will probably available at summer time, some specs are probably already available.
Thank you JSWolf - I saw Carta and Immediately got interested. I compared the specs for both Carta and Max bit by bit, and found them pretty much the same. Besides, Carta comes out with Android 4.4 (which led me to believe at first glance, its h/w specs are better - but after comparing those to Max, I found those to be the same - hence I assume, the Max too will get Android 4.4). The real difference I saw, was indeed the screen (resolution etc.). Anyhow, that's the logic behind my questions - everybody here seems to be pretty happy with their current Max screens (at least, until somebody answer question #4), so it really hard to pay those amount of money, for not that big a difference. I may be wrong, you know
