How is Elipsa to hold in the hands?
Especially: is it light enough to hold in one hand for half an hour?

I find the Libra a good size and weight to hold - its made me read ALOT more than even my sweet little Galaxy Note 8 Tablet

CONTEXT OF QUESTION

The only problem with the Libra size is PDFs with wider texts.
I prefer slightly larger text ((14-)16 pts) but some of my important books are too wide for that.

But my current Libra has another problem - which is why I'm considering Elipsa.

Only 6.7 GB of memory - far from enough for me.

So I was looking at the Sage, but found out the screen is barely bigger than the Libra (2cm down, 1.5 cm across).

If the Elipsa is comfortable enough to hold, it might kill both birds: (even tho its well outside my preferred price range):
- 32 GB
- big enough for those PDFs,and maybe even my my large textbook PDFs (with all the graphs and images - tho they will be in b&w).

Plus I've been a little interested in a Remarkable-style device, but couldnt justify the price for just the writing feature on its own. I will be studying again soon though, so that might be useful.
