Looking for portable eink reader with good screen display

[jameswillow]

Like the title said , I am going to buy 6"(or)7" e-ink device with good contrast, clear and sharp text display.(I want to know which device is considered as the best in market right now in term of screen display quality).
I prefer weight of the device less than 200 grams.
And I am not concerned about price and speed of the device that much. I will only use the device for reading epubs.

I am currently considering Kindle paperwhite and oasis(both latest model).Also poke 3 and Boox Leaf.I love the weight of Boox devices and I think screen display is better in Kindle devices. Which one should I buy? Is there any difference in screen display between poke 3 and leaf?
Please exclude Kobo devices since they are not imported in my country.

The 7-inch Kobo Libra 2 is widely acclaimed as having exceptional screen quality, and it reads epubs natively, which Kindles do not

Agreed. The Libra 2 display is better than the latest Oasis and the new Paperwhites.

Edit: as to Kobos not being sold in your country, several people here have used mail forwarders to buy one from another country.

You can use a mail forwarding company to buy a Kobo Libra. I've three Kindles, one Android eink, had a nook and another eink brand and have a Sony.

I mostly use a Kobo Libra. I've used mail forwarding services from UK and USA. Most of my mail order to Ireland now is from Germany. I bought a Libra from Germany for my wife, mine was from the local Argos. But a UK supermarket has bought Argos inc. the Irish stores and now almost everything has a 4 to 8 day shipping delay instead of stocked locally, so pointless.

I've also used online ordering from Turkey, Greece, Poland, France, Netherlands, Italy, Spain, Canada, Australia, China, Taiwan, Malaysia, Singapore, Russia, Ukraine and Bulgaria.

Canada took 12 weeks! China is mostly 5 to 8 weeks. All non-EU requires VAT/Customs before delivery unless the seller is EU VAT registered in some manner (includes eBay Global Shipping and Amazon sales from USA or UK).

Why do you post the same question twice? You already got your answer. The best current display is Kobo Libra 2.

You could wait and see if Amazon releases a new Oasis this year, as the current Oasis will soon be 3 years old. But they're probably not going to do it before summer at the earliest.

It is my bad. I accidentally posted it again and doesn't find where delete the post function is.
