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.

7.8 inch and 10.3 inch devices - screen resolution: 1404 * 1872
Boox Nova2 and Likebook Ares have the same screen data as the Kobo Aura One - but they are based on Android and have much more powerful hardware than the specialized ebook readers (Kindle, Kobo, Pocketbook)
But they have a problem - the Wacom screen starts to turn gray when exposed to sunlight.
The Likebook Mars doesn't have this problem because it doesn't have Wacom.
This is not the case with the 10.3 inch devices (Boox Note 2, Likebook Alita). However, they have the same screen resolution as the 7.8 inch devices and similar hardware features.
