Aura Hd or Cybook Ocean
Hello,
I'd like to buy my 1st ereader and my choice (doubt) would be between the kobo aura hd and bookeen cybook ocean. I have tried an old ereader 6" but I didn't find it very comfortable. The model is 6", 800x600, without light and Vizplex display. I found the display too small and dark (for my eyes), then I'd like a larger display with light to avoid stressing my eyes. The ereader would be for book only (epub), not pdf or comic books. My choice then would be between aura hd and (when available) cybook ocean, but I don't know if I should prefer the 8" display with low resolution digital ink, or the aura's 6.8", smaller but far better resolution eink I don't know if the bigger ocean's display would be more comfortable for the eyes rather than the aura's. Thanks |

It's impossible to make a comparison with a device that hasn't been released. Nobody knows how good (or otherwise) it'll be.

What is the supposed resolution of the Cybook Ocean?
And is portability a factor or not? Will you use the reader outside (on public transport or so) or only at home? Reading your first post I think you should not hear to anyone here but try to see a Cybook Ocean in real when it comes out and judge then if you will feel comfortable reading on it. I have an 8" reader, I find it a very pleasant size, but, hm, everyone is different. |

Portability is not a factor and use it only at home. Unfortunately even when it will be available there are no stores who sell it where I live. Can I ask you what ereader 8" have you got? |

The iRex DR800 that has been discontinued awhile ago.
The resolution should be okay. |
