Recently, I bought a Max Lumi 1 to try out a bigger screen. I'm quite happy with my Nova 3, but would prefer a bigger screen both for reading normal e-books and for complementing that with comics (/manga), PDFs and maybe split screen reading for language learning (have a book and its translation open at the same time).

The Lumi is the perfect size. Unfortunately, the PPI at 207 has the text looking blurry, which makes it impossible for me to read. My eyes get tired trying to focus on the washed out letters. I'll therefore have to return it.

I'm considering buying a 10 inch reader in its stead. They have a PPI of 226. Would that be enough of an improvement to make for a comfortable reading experience?

Does anyone have any experience comparing a 13" to a 10"?

I'd be happy to hear your experience using a 10" reader for reading and any recommendations for which actual reader to get. I'd prefer one using Android, but that seems out of the question at the moment (Note Air 2 is using a pre-applied screen protector that seems to lower the contrast). Maybe the Kobo Elipsa?
