Hi all,

I’m looking for some recommendations for a larger ereader.

I have 6 inch screens, the 7 inch Oasis, and the 7.8 inch Kobo Aura One. The Aura One screen is absolutely fantastic, but I tend to like to cram a lot of text per page and it’s a bit on the small side.

I’m open to either frontlit screens or not, the latter depending on the boldness of the font. (I’m using a DXG with 150ppi and the smallest font is pretty low in contrast. Similar size on the Aura One is great.)

I’ve looked at the Remarkable 1 (seems like the reader doesn’t have a lot of options?) the Boox Max 3 (huge screen, lower resolution due to size and no Front-Light) and the Boox Note 2 (frontlit, not as big as the Max 3, but perhaps best of both worlds?)

I’m looking for personal experience as I haven’t handled these devices. The 6 inch Voyage to the 7.8 inch Aura One is less than 2 inches difference and it feels huge in person. I didn’t know if the 13.3 feels too huge, and if the 10.3, while much smaller feels huge compared to an Aura One.

Any recommendations welcome.
