Looking for large screen e-ink device (7 - ? inches)
I've had my eye on the Kindle DX for awhile now, but I was wondering if there were any other large screened eReaders out there that are around the same price (160 - 200). I'd also like it if the device was available in North America, or at least, available to be shipped there.

I think that a used Kindle DX is your only option in that price range. (There are relatively few e-readers with screens larger than 6")
If you are willing to spend 300+ dollars then you could consider the Onyx Boox 92 9.7" reader or the Pocketbook 8" color Lux reader with front lit screen. Other options include the ectaco Jetbook. |

Not eink,but you may get a Nook HD+ for about 200 bucks, today, Mother's Day.
I think that you will not find a larger than 7 inches screen for that price, honestly. And Kindle DXG is "dead", unsupported, so I would not recommend it unless you really don't care about warranty and on going support. |

See the News thread about the possible big new Sony reader.

I am also excited about the 13-inch Sony reader, but it won't be available for another year, and I am sure it will be expensive - as Sony needs to recoup years of R&D that went into developing that device.
There are three 10-inch models which have been available for some time, so you should be able to find them used, within your budget: the Kindle DX (which is back on sale by Amazon the way), the Onyx Boox M92 (alias Icarus Excel), and the Pocketbook 9-series (902, 903, 912). Another option is to choose one of the new 8-inch devices: the Icarus 8 (E800BK), or the Trekstor Pyrus Maxi. You can check if these are within your budget - if not now then in a few months when used ones should appear. Here are some links for these models: http://icarusreader.com/store/e-read...us8-8-e-reader http://www.trekstor.co.uk/detail-ebo...oduct/292.html |

1. The Icarus has audio functionality, the Trekstor doesn't 2. The Icarus supports mobi, the Trekstore doesn't. So I wouldn't say they are the same device, at least from the software side. |
