I've been mulling over this the last few days, checking out various stuff, watching how to use KOReader, having an information overload on YT... I didn't know Pocketbook also makes non-Android ereaders, any idea how it compares to Kobo in lightning, CPU, screen, software etc?
It's good to hear NxtPaper has OLED models, but I'm wary of getting anything non-eink and Android because it does get pretty hot here. The other day it was 38C, the rest of the week it's 30-32C which is about average for the summer. I have a decent 2024 phone and it got pretty hot. If I put it in an ereader stand in shade in those temps, I can use it for longer, but I still need to turn the screen off from time to time to let it cool down. That's impractical when reading a book.
It seems the device that would fit me the most is something Kobo isn't making currently, something like a Libra Colour but with Clara BW's Carta 1300 black-and-white screen and a frontlight that can be made as dim as Clara BW's.
150€ ~ Kobo Clara BW, tried it, nice design, nice screen and nice for bedtime reading, NO landscape mode without KOReader
170€ ~ Kobo Clara Colour, also seems to have no landscape mode. No Carta 1300
235€ ~ Kobo Libra Colour, has landscape mode but it's too expensive, also no Carta 1300. No clue about lighting
175€ ~ Tolino Vision Color, this is a Libra Colour rebrand? It has the same specs AFAICS
180€ ~ Tolino Vision 6, I assume this is the b/w version of Vision Color, but apparently has Carta 1200?
110€ ~ Pocketbook Verse, resolution suggests it's not as good. Only has 8GB storage
150€ ~ Pocketbook Verse Pro & Pro Color. The Color version has 1GB RAM and quad core
200€ ~ Pocketbook Era, just barely within budget
160€ ~ NxtPaper 11. NxtPaper 14 doesn't seem to be available here
