The TCL Nxtpaper 11 (10.9″ Nxtpaper 2.0, < €200, SD Card) and TCL Nxtpaper 14 (14.25″ Nxtpaper 3.0 & 3:2 aspect, < €300, 256 G Flash) are far better than any iPad for reading. True non-reflective, no shine, no glare screens that work in full sunlight (set to auto brightness) or indoors (manual brightness).

I've tried DXG 9.7″ (total junk), reMarkable & Elipsa (10.3″ & both no use for too many PDFs) and the Kobo Sage 8″ (better than 10.2″ and works for PDF instruction books, not Letter, A4, big text books, Journal papers, magazines)

The 10.9″ Nxtpaper 2.0 isn't an ideal aspect, but works with most documents. The 14.25″ Nxtpaper 3.0 is 3:2 which is very good for two up in landscape and ANY PDF doc in Portrait. Pocketbook App. I have 11 & 14 models. The 14 is first time ever I can read any document without big PC screen or printing.

Get it with cover and Pen.
The Nebo Notes (android bought app) beats reMarkable, Elipsa, Sage, MS OneNote etc.

I've compared same PDFs on iPad and Nxtpaper 11. The Nxtpaper, properly adjusted, is comparable to mono eink with the front light on. The eink is only better for reflowable mono novels when ambient light is enough for frontlight off.

Battery life is huge at sensible brightness and only reading as it's 10,000 mAh. As good as some eink with front light on.

In reality the Nxtpaper 14 (pro version no advantage except to gamers) is almost the area of 2 x 8″ ereaders!
