Does anyone have experience with this Inkbook brand?
Try looking on banggood for Onyx Boox. Check out Boyue too. They only do 6" but they do have buttons. But Android ereaders do come with issues. They do often require significant configuration and the battery life will not match ereaders like Kobo or Kindle.

I like it. I like the buttons because I read while eating. Easier to clean buttons than screen. You can use your fingers to flip pages also.

The lighting is quite good and the whole front is flat. No gaps anywhere.

I also like because NO Google. The media store that it has does have most of the readers covered here. Mantano, Cool Reader, Moon Reader. I'm using FB Reader.
Yay! Someone that has one. Can you make the buttons work on more reading apps than the default one?

OK forget my questions about the others. I decided to get a Kobo Aura One and just live without buttons. It was just too good a device to pass up and it was finally in stock in the US Kobo store.

After 5 or so days with this Kobo Aura One, I'm so impressed. This is my favorite ebook reader of all time. I've had none of the issues others seem to find with it. Damn, this thing is pure awesome.
