The Tolino Epos with 7.8" screen is 8.2"x5.5"x.32" at 260g. The waterproofing is (I think) IPX7.

The Kindle Oasis 3 with 7" screen is 6.3"x5.6"x.13"-.33" at 188g. The waterproofing is IPX8.

The Nook Glowlight Plus has 19 LEDs (10 white, 9 orange) which is better than the Tolino Epos (at 13 LEDs, 7 white and 6 orange). The Kobo Forma has 17 LEDs (I assume 9 white and 8 orange). The new Kindle Oasis 3 has 25 LEDs (13 white and 12 amber.) So, all things equal, the Oasis 3 (with its smaller screen and higher LED density) should have better quality screen lighting. I haven't seen a Forma or Oasis in the wild, but I own an Epos and have seen a Glowlight Plus and, for screen quality, I would have to give the nod to the Glowlight between these two. (The Epos is good though.)

At any rate, for what it's worth.
