I guess this actually leads me to another question which I hadn't considered yet. What is the battery life like between Android eink devices and Linux devices? The battery life on my Kobo lasts a LONG time.

Is there a better color eink display? I know color screens in general are dimmer and lower PPI than mono screens but attempting to read a color graphic novel on a grayscale screen is painful.

The TCL Nxtpaper devices look like backlit LCD tablets to me. And why are you comparing these to a Sony PRS-350? That device is over 15 years old. Sorry, I don't think you understood what I was asking about.

To clarify: I am looking for a device with a colour e-ink screen that has a slot for a microSD card (either inside it like my Kobo or accessible from the outside). It seems like these are limited to Android e-ink devices nowadays so I am trying to understand how it feels to use something like a Boox or Bigme device.
