BIG eReaders

I'm apparently late to getting into the idea of having an e-ink reader, because even living in the USA--home of everything BEST AND BIG--there are basically no ereaders that are even distributed here anymore with greater than a 6" screen. Amazon, for instance, apparently stopped selling big Kindles years ago. Getting anything big now involves an international order and import. Consequently, I've never even had the opportunity to even SEE a big e-ink screen; only the dinky Amazon 6-inchers at Best Buy.

So if I want a good e-ink reading experience, how much would I be missing out by not buying one of the $500 Chinese superiorly-large devices (basically the cheapest it gets for a 10"+ screen) vs. a $100 domestic compact?

Do you use a 6"? Do you wish you had bigger? $500 is a lot for me to spend on something like this, but if it's really that much better then I may be able to make it work. Help me, Yea Forums.

Same here, but frankly I was convinced by e-ink's superiority once I actually saw it in person (though, as I noted, on the phone-sized 6" screen of the Kindle/Nook). It honestly seems pretty fantastic and it got me excited at the possiblity of being able to regularly read on one of these things. Even if I can't get any positive feedback on the big screens, I'm going to end up getting at least a 6 incher.

size doesn't actually matter, even on the little amazon screens the problem of small screens arent an issue with e ink like they are on a phone.

I think it should tell you something that the demand for larger ereaders isn't there. There's little point in a larger screen except for rich text (e.g. textbooks, papers with figures) where they are typically not needed or more cumbersome than just using a typical computer anyway. Portability is more marketable, but for good reason.

That's encouraging to hear--so I probably wouldn't be missing a better reading experience if I get a 6" reader instead of a 10.3". What about Android readers vs. Kindle/Kobo? I'm leaning toward Kobo Clara HD.

I'm no expert, but aren't android 'readers' just tablets? Wouldn't bother with those.

I can't think of any reason to get a bigger kindle. At best you'll just be pressing the screen a bit less often. The standard sized readers already display about a page's worth of text.

God knows why you'd want to spend five times as much on such an experience.
e-ink is so much better than phones

I've had a 6" Paperwhite since 2015 and it hasn't been an issue at all. Text size is customizable anyways so you can make a page look bigger or smaller by just pinching the screen. I've never had an issue with the size and probably even feel that bigger would be too heavy. I have a leather cover that acts as a stand as well which I consider vital for kindle peeps.
