Remarkable is no good. It takes ePub and converts them to PDF.

I wasn't to mean at it, just the video had a comparison, also saying it won't be fine as for reading, as it doesn't seems to have proper text alignment' settings or it's very long on changing text's size...
Also questioning if 7,8" can be portable enought.

I will say though, I love the directory integration in the Supernote. If you’re reading something and you hit the first toolbar button, it shows you the folder the file is located in with all the other files located there. This is helpful for me reading articles related to a particular topic.

I actually appreciate that it doesn't have a "home screen" and it defaults to the notebook instead. Very intentional design that, personally, I like.

Also, it doesn't has a dictionary.

Pocketbook Verse Basic. It's among the least expensive available and has a 6" screen, an sd card, page turn buttons and a UI which leaves other Linux-based e-readers -- Kindle, Kobo & Nook -- far behind in terms of usability features, especially if you sideload books.

Its spec of a 212 dpi screen looks bad on paper but, in practice, it looks perfectly fine and you won't notice it.

The knock on Pocketbook's UI is that it's slow but only when first selecting a menu item; after that, it's not a problem.

In fact, if you want an sd card and don't want android firmware, the PB Verse Basic is the only option. If you don't care about android vs linux, (most) android e-readers will have sd-card support. I'd still vote for the Verse Basic, though: it's my all-time favorite device.
