Actually, I do have an Aluratek. I bought it 6 months ago at Costco. I've put a novel that I've written on it and it's currently "on loan" for someone to read the novel for me. In all honesty, the LCD display on that Aluratek isn't that bad. It's not eInk, but seems to be pretty readable at different angles. It's smaller but does fit into a pocket. I do like the navigation on that more than the Kindle or Kobo because you can just press one of the 10 buttons on the side to select the book. you can still scroll through and do it that way. One thing I noticed on it - that reader ALWAYS displays photos correctly. I had made a photos folder on the Kindle and they rarely display properly. I guess it is "experimental", though.
Now, if the Aluratek had eink, it would be pretty good.
Thanks for the note on the pre-loads. I may take an SD card to Chapters and see if I can read a couple of my own documents on it.
The text-to-speech is really, really good on the Kindle and I used it a LOT. It did kill the batteries, though. I would need a recharge in 2 days. LOL. I think I'll miss that, but the more I think of the Kindle, it's far too big and awkward.
My quest continues ... :^D
