@brethon: would a 10" ereader fit your needs? In the second hands I see Kindle Scribe (first generation), Kindle DX' second generation (https://wiki.mobileread.com/wiki/Kindle_DX).
Sending PDF to Kindles seems quite straightforward, by sending the doc to email... Those 10" devices stands on ebay at 100$ or less too..

Edit: last try, Nanote P8

I guess manufacture in China, not Japan: it's a spin-off of the first GPD-Pocket (that now I saw has grown its price on sales).

Yes, I was considering Kindle Scribe as my bigger device but this whole debacle with converting files using Amazon services drives me off. Moreover I'm not sure if 10.2" screen is big enough, where I can get Nxtpaper 11 Plus or Nxtpaper 14 in similar price range. Additionally, Scribe doesn't have any special refresh rate mode and with that screen size I would probably need to scroll a lot in landscape mode when using pdfs with tiny fonts.

As my for my smaller, portable device, it's between Nxtpaper 40 phone and ~7.8" E-Ink reader with fast refresh and margin cropping(like Likebook Mars). Measured screen width of both devices is nearly same, and as I expect lots of scrolling in landscape mode it goes down to question, do I need E-Ink or will matte LCD be enough. Preferred use is outdoors on sunny days.

In general I prefer as high ppi as possible and screen anti-glare and anti-reflection capabilities. For LCDs I also look at peak brightness values and PWM frequencies(so screens with no PWM or as high as possible).

btw. Some people recommended me second-hand Apple tablets with Mothca screen protectors as an alternative to Nxtpaper but I doubt I will go that way.


One more thing, I've noticed that you have 300ppi 8" Kobo Forma listed as your device, that's close to 7.8" Likebook Mars dimensions. Have you ever tried to open A4 or A5 pdf file with font size 10 or similar? And do you think it's readable, either in portrait or landscape? Also how's the scrolling using fast refresh?
