I have a reader that I am happy with. It's light, easy to hold, battery lasts a long time, and is just great to read on.
That said, I would like something larger than 8 inches with color for other uses. If it can be used to read, that too would be fine. But I would not use it as a primary reader.
PS-
Gorilla Glass. If I'm going to spend a significant amount of money I want something like Gorilla Glass.
