Seriously retro and abysmal compared to some 7" and 7.8" ereaders for PDFs. That and comics are the main reasons to go more than 7" to 8".
The Ancient Kindle DX was 1200 x 825 The DXG has a later better contrast eink but otherwise the same.

The DXG (pearl screen upgrade of DX) was 2010, 11 years ago.

I can't see the point of this. Though no doubt it's got a much better CPU and more sensible amount of RAM.

The 2015 PW3 (6") is 1448 x 1072

The current Kobo Libra is 7.0" 300 PPI E Ink Carta display, 1680 × 1264 resolution (About €220 in VAT in Ireland in August 2021).

So is it for users of a 6" eReader that don't admit to needing glasses?
