I didn't watch the video, but from the "battery drain per hour" table/picture, the
Elipsa and scribe only use 0.5% battery per hour. So 200 hours of reading time, or the decimal point is in the wrong place?

When thinking of 10" readers questions of articulated arms and reading style come into play.
I've used 6" readers on bendy arms in bed.
While it seems like a good idea for me I'm not sure about reading on my back 100% (vs side).

The Kindle Scribe might be fine, imho; I didn't understood why on Amazon, now has the 32GB version at 295$, while the 16GB costs more.

Amazon do not provide details of the battery in the Kindle Scribe 2024 however, in all likelihood, it has around a 3000mAh battery, like its predecessor..
There are 2 generations of Scrbe (2022 and 2024): https://blog.the-ebook-reader.com/20...to-2022-model/
The Pocketbook Inkpad X PRO also is 10.3", within a 1404 × 1872 resolution, so 227 DPI. At 319$.
The Pocketbook Inkpad X (not Pro) has the same resolution, here there is a comparison: https://versus.com/en/pocketbook-ink...k-inkpad-x-pro
Li-Ion Sol, 3200 mAh Battery, weight 350 g.
