Welcome to the second edition (first one is
here) of my summary of large ereaders available these days.
It looks like Onyx is coming under pressure on all fronts with Sony having resurrected its
DPT-RP1 and a as of now not yet released
reMarkable, a very interesting newcomer.
The (estimated) Price Delivered is for folks like me who are in Europe and have to foot various taxes and duties.
I hope you find it useful and give me a shout if you spot any mistakes or I missed some device!
