I could not stand reading on Boox's earlier 13" devices with a lower PPI. I have also compared 300 and 260 PPI screens. And Carta 1000, 1200 and 1300. The difference is pretty clear to me.

That said, I agree that other factors weigh in, such as the quality of the glass cover (or absence thereof).

But here it just feels like certain people make excuses for companies. Why not use 300PPI screens since there is a clear difference (whether or not YOU, personally, can see it or not)? Why not use more recent hardware, so that the device doesn't feel sluggish to use?

Also, page turn buttons are a must for me.
I have a Kobo Aura H2O that has an IR touch so it doesn't have a touch layer. It has a PPI of 265. You would not notice the different between that and my Kobo Libra 2 which is 300 PPI. The Libra 2 has a touch layer.
