The included dictionary is just barely usable (again, comparing to Kindle).

If anyone else is deciding whether this is a device for them, my personal suggestion would be to either go 13" or 6". I haven't used 7" or 8" devices but I assume they would suffer from the same "too big yet not big enough" issue as this Inkpad X.

Yeah, their software is far from perfect, and for reading epub and dictionary quality Kindles are better. But honestly 7.8 inch is really good for epub as well as pdf (books, no A4/full page documents). And it doesn't take much more room than a 6 or 7 inch ereader and anything less than 7.8 inch makes it difficult to read books in PDF format...
I think PocketBook can provide a decent experience if you are ready to install custom apps. Thanks for sharing your opinion on a 10 inch ereader, never tried one yet, seems tempting for PDF but as you say it might be still too small for some files.
Is the contrast good on the Mobius screen?

Nice! Does the 6.0 version of the firmware brings many changes?
