However, it was too big for me to read normally and so I got the 7.8 inch Likebook Ares.
Then I found it nice to write my comments in books, but with the Ares I could only do it in pdf files - but I also wanted it in other formats and so I came to the Boox Nova 2.
My most used device is the Ares, because with almost the same equipment (2/512 GB) as the Alita (4/512 GB) it is smaller and lighter - really portable - but I hardly use it as an ebook reader, but mostly as an outside device Computer with bluetooth keyboard.
The Boox devices (Nova2 - 3/32 GB, Note2 - 4/64 GB, Max3 4/64 GB) are too weak for me in terms of storage capacity (my Kiwix with Wikipedia needs about 50 GB), but my Nova2 is my most reader used

AH-ha, I see. Okay, your needs are quite different than mine, in that case. I was (am) primarily looking for something that would allow me to make detailed notes on files of different types, for research. I'm very unsure about the 10", though. I mean..I get it and I'd love more screen, but I've found the Fire 10" to be
utterly unmanageble, realistically, for me. It's just the wrong size and shape for my hands (which aren't tiny, but...). Obviously, not all devices are sized and shaped for all people, and for whatever odd reason, the Fire 10"
doesn't suit me. I bought it for testing, so it's not a wasted purchase, but I'm a bit annoyed that I have no use for it whatsoever, beyond that.
Ditto the new Oasis with the side panel for holding. It's bloody awkward, to me. The heel of the right corner digs into my palm. I was forced to replace my much-loved Voyage when it could no longer charge, and I stupidly bought this and I do
NOT like it at all. After 20-ish minutes of reading, I have to stop or shift the device, as it digs into my bony palm.
(sigh). I wish I had one
remotely local to me (NOTHING is remotely local to me) so that I could play with it, but I might just bite the bullet and buy and try, see what happens. Returning is
also a major undertaking around here (60+ mile RT to the PO and back to ship stuff--it's the downside of living in a rural area), but I don't see a great alternative to find out if I'm going to like it or not.
Thanks, guys.
