Not unless it's able to change size!
I need all of:
1. 4″ to 5″: Most pockets
2. 6″ to 8″: Paperback book replacement. I prefer 8″.
3. 10″ to 15″: Needed for PDFs. I’d use a 13.5″ to 15″ instead of my 10.3″ Elipsa if it was 220dpi to 300 dpi.
4. Also Android eink vs dedicated. Less good as an ereader but able to have Library apps (Both Borrowbox & Libby needed here for full catalogue; split between books & audio on one and comics/magazines/News on the other!), Kobo, Amazon, Google etc Reader apps too. Also real email etc.
I have all four of those categories and a choice in several. Also as we make ebooks we need at least two kinds of Kindle, Kobo, other epub, apps and various sizes screen. I should really get an iPhone and iPad (the iPhone 4S was already too old to install any ereaders or Apple Books when I was given it) for testing too.
I’d considered the Kindle Scribe as a slight upgrade from Elipsa to proof PDFs for POD, but it has far too many disadvantages. I never got Sony DPT 10″ or 13″ approx size models mainly due to walled garden (Kindle Scribe worse because you never had to send PDFs to Internet) and partly low resolution. So I'll wait for a 300 dpi 10″ plus size from Kobo. I'd like bigger than 12″ and more than 250 dpi to read old magazines.
