Well that one doesn't work since Amazon does not have an 8" eInk ereader in their current lineup.

Please note that Richwood said nothing about popularity, just features and prices.

BTW, using the pricing from Amazon.ca and Kobo's Canadian site:

Code:
6" devices
Paperwhite$139.99
Clara HD$139.99

7" devices
Oasis 8GB$329.99
Libra H2O$199.99

8" devices
Forma 8GB$299.99
So price wise, a tie on the 6" end, a definite advantage on the 7" devices and no contest for the 8" device.
The kindle experience in the USA has features that Kindles outside the USA do not have. When you add it all up, there is a reason the Kindle dominates market share. I understand what you mean. After all, I think the Nook hardware is best. But I wont buy one.
