Just wanted to post an update: I'm still keeping the e-reader comparison table up to date, and have added recent models like the Kindle Colorsoft 2025, Bigme B6, Boox Go Color 7 Gen 2 and Boox Tab X C. There are now over 250 e-readers available for comparison. If you're missing something, let me know and I'll make sure to add it!

Also, I've now added a way more advanced size comparison tool, which you can find below the comparison table (here). It's essentially a canvas on which you can add any combination of e-readers from the table. Size reference items, like a credit card and A5 & A6 paper sizes can also be added.

Here's a screenshot:

There are a bunch of options and customization settings available to change what to show and how everything looks. Any item can be dragged around and rotated freely on the canvas, but there's also an option to automatically line them up based on height or release date.

You can also use this full version of the size comparison tool, which has all items on the entire site available for comparison. This means that you'll also be able to (for instance) compare an e-reader you're interested in to your current smartphone to get a better idea of its size. This full version also creates a unique link for any comparison layout you make so you can easily share it or save it to revisit.

I'd be very interested to hear any feedback on the new tool, so let me know if you have any!

I also have plans to add an AR mode, which means that (when on mobile), you'll be able to see any e-reader in your space, which probably gives you an even better idea its size.

On Kindle you can do this by double-clicking on an image, and then using pinch-to-zoom.

Wouldn't surprise me if Tolinos did as well.
Good to know!

No; I just started adding the Pocketbook e-readers without specifying the button type, and haven't fixed it yet. I know this is an issue for people trying to filter on specific types of buttons. I've been really busy lately but I'll try to fix this as soon as possible (likely tomorrow)!
