The new model was built on the experience of the MIDIA brand, well known from it 6-inch inkBOOK Obsidian e-reader. It will be perfect for reading PDF files and your favorite e-books. This device is running an e-ink pearl display with a resolution of 1024 x 786 and a 4:3 aspect ratio. A better comparison can be made if i sit and try to read the same page on both the devices separately, but my first impression was that i will prefer 9.Aras Tech has just announced a brand new eight inch e-reader called the inkBOOK 8. I made the judgement in 2-3 months without reading on both devices. But i suppose i didn't even take resolution difference into account at that time. My conclusions at that time was : I would be very comfortable reading on 9.7" and i won't use 8" for reading pdf. It is blurry and pixelated, so it won't show resolution difference which i could see with my eyes. The text in M92 was at 110% zoom when compared to the same pdf file printed on paper and i86 had approx 90% zoom. The zoom level will be much less than 100% in portrait mode. Also, I usually read pdf files on these devices in landscape mode. I was just checking what would look good to my eyes. When i was doing the comparison I had actually forgotten about resolution difference between these devices and i was comparing the zoom level only. I had two devices few months back and I did a comparison of a pdf file for my friend. Any help, opinions or suggestions above these 3 would be very much appreciatedĭoesn't it depend on the number of pixels displayed rather than the physical size? The i86 uses an 8" 1600x1200 screen, while the 9.7" devices use a 1200x825 screen. InkBOOK (concerned about low screen res, light uniformity, walled apps)įorgive any mistakes I may have made in the previous, I am brand new to the current e-Book scene. ONYX BOOX i86 HDML PLUS (concerned about single CPU?) Icarus Illumina XL (concerned about single CPU?) I will eventually be getting a 13" e-Reader but will probably be waiting for that scene to mature, so am looking for a stop gap (I would prefer current availability in the UK, but if things are a cut above would wait\ship). I believe 8" would suit me best as I think 6" would be too small and I found the 9.7" of the kindle not big enough to comfortably enjoy PDF's. I would prefer it had wireless and ran android (the folder structure for sorting collections and being able to install reading apps being the main reason I would like android), and it must be able to read EPUB and MOBI. I am in the market for a new e-Reader, having just dropped my Kindle DXG.
