Device: PRS-350, PRS-650, PRS-T2, PRS-T3, Boox T68, Boox Poke 3
just received the Poke 3, after about 1 hour of playing around, quick impression

pro against T68
1: def much smoother that T68, so far all touches are registered with accuracy.
2: more portable
3. USB C
4. Flush screen and better overall looking.
6. Lighter, better for standing/walking

Cons against T68
1: No buttons at all (except power button)
2: Battery life seem to be worse than T68.
3. Can not be taken out of the case, it is stick to the case?!
4. Not rubberised feel like T68, more chance of dropping if used without case.
5. No SD card support
6. No headphone jack
7. Smaller screen, worse for sitting/long session
8. very important to who read while listening audiobooks, worse search function out of all the reader I have so far. I'll explain later

So far, I think the T68 is still a better reading device if
1. you have a large vocabulary or if you prefer to used another device to look up words.
2. you read for long period at a time due to (seemly) better battery life and larger screen
3. you have a desk/table and are seated because T68 is bigger and heavier
4. you are older and require a larger font.
