Though if you have the proper reading classes as per professional eye test, the 7" @ 300 dpi screen on the Kobo Libra is far better than the DXG 9.7" @ 150 dpi. The Libra manages larger page size PDFs more readible and far faster than the DXG. So while it's possible people are buying really just for the 9.7" screen, it suggests that maybe they haven't used 300 dpi screens or seen the 6.8" H2O (original is about 260 dpi?) or the rather better 7" Libra @ 300 dpi.
I might have liked a Forma, but it is €100 more and I find the DXG too big for reading novels. A DXG sized ereader with touch and keyboard @ 300 dpi and for under €300 would be nice for PDFs. The 10" eink I've looked at seem too expensive and a bit flakey SW wise, I'd want an Amazon or Kobo one.
