Any color tablet with the same screen size as Kindle's Matcha?

LCD only.

No skinny, anemic, undernourished, fit-in-grandpa's-backpocket-sized screen.

(Circle back to the first sentence, please.)

Oh, 6″ in 4:3 is tricky. Hardly on a new one. I bought an ancient Samsung for €15 that size for Solitaire!
Even 7″ is rarer and most are 16:9 or 16:10.

An old iPad won't let you install apps. An old Android (even v 3!) will, from "archive" sites of free (not pirate) sw.

Nxtpaper is nicest OLED/LCD, but not remotely that form-factor at that size. Either chocolate bar sized or big tablets (16:10 to 3:2 aspect). Even 7″ on 16:9 or 16:10 is inferior to 4:3 6″

Something second hand. Does Peru have equivalent of UK & Ireland CEX? I find ebay tricky and postage / duties is a killer if not in EU.

Looks like slim pickings.

What size screen did the old GEM (Rocket?) have? (But it was not an LCD screen.) That brings back memories. I still have three in storage, but they probably no longer work.

An 8″ LCD with 16:9 aspect might be a similar width to the Matcha?
