Thanks for great advice. Do you have the same experience with Onyx, i.e. that it's not quite crisp enough (black on white)?

The crispest screen I've seen is a 6-inch with a 1072 × 1448 resolution in the Monte Cristo 3. The DPI and the crispness should be the same as the Aura One, but the screen is smaller. The Aura One will offer fairly crisp text similar to a real book.
I've never used Onyx readers, but I can say that the Kobo software will require adjustments in order to work optimally. You'll definitely need KOReader (continually developed and improved) to handle PDFs and comic files in any reasonable fashion, and even then pinch and zoom will not really work.

KoReader again! I'm guessing this is some modded or alternative software for a better reading experience. I'm getting too old for things like this, lol... I'll only change it if it can be done in under an hour.

Good to know. I'm not against tweaking and modding, if there are clear instructions. But I don't want to experiment or have to do complex hacks to make minor improvements.
Given this, does any other reader come to mind, that would be good for me?
