Great to know - thanks for sharing this invaluable info.
I'll check against my current reader to get an idea of the perspective. I think that one is a bit dull in the contrast and it probably doesn't have very good resolution either.

It's not to the point of being a dealbreaker for me though. And I have heard better things about the more modern Android 6 in the huge Onyx Max2 and Note.

On Android, Koreader is a hit and miss. On my Onyx (Android 4) I have given up trying to get it to work.

However, on Pocketbook Inkpad 3 (with a 7.8" screen, same screen as Kobo Aura One), it performs excellent. Koreader has both epub/txt and pdf/djvu reading capabilities with almost all possible settings you can imagine. If you have many pdf files to read, Koreader is a very welcome app. Koreader has its own subforum here https://www.mobileread.com/forums/fo...play.php?f=276[/QUOTE]
Yeah - MAX2 is overkill for what I need. I don't want to go any higher than about 10 inch - I want it to fit in a handbag or a small backpack.
Onyx doesn't list "Note" as one of its current products - is it a legacy version or slang for some existing model? There is one model called just Max, without the 2 suffix.

Thanks for the tip on the Koreader subforum.
