There are no real reviews, websites like notebookcheck or pcmag are silent and all I can find is just poorly formatted promo material.

Well, try one to find out. TCL Nxtpaper series are great value for their money. I've the previous version and am a happy user. Would I by the PRO? Perhaps, when I can convince the lady of the house to spend the money. That said, the current one is still working perfect and regularly updated.

I've bought "Nxtpaper 11" few months ago, but had to return because it had horrible screen uniformity issues(very visible when using white static background). Technically it was okay but far from perfect, so I've decided to wait for "Nxtpaper 11 Plus" to roll out and then decide between "Nxtpaper 11 Plus" or "Nxtpaper 14". Now we're like 2 months after release and product is still relatively unknown.

The Nxtpaper 12 Plus and 14 do not seem to have memory extension possibilities either and limited to 250GB. Can you confirm that @Quoth?

From what I know they don't have SD slots, at least in configurations sent to EU. But knowing TCL, it's very possible that they could release SD/LTE versions for other markets.

I have the earlier approx 16:10 Nxtpaper 11 and the 3:2 Nxtpaper 14.

Yes, I want to read pdfs.
"Nxtpaper 11 Plus" is supposedly also 3:2 device, hence I prefer it over 16:10 "Nxtpaper 11". As for "Nxtpaper 14", one thing that worries me is that it weights 760 grams with relatively large size (leverage issues). Do you hold it in your hands when reading or use stand or some kind hand-strap/holding assistance? And is it comfortable?
And btw, I've read in other topic that you own "Likebook Mars". I'm considering it as my second device for pdfs, but with outdoors portability in mind. Would it even be considerable? Maybe there are better portable e-ink choices for outdoors? I was even considering "Kindle Paperwhite 3/4" with 6" screen as I'm currently using normal LCD phone.
