This is what frustrates me - I would love eInk panels, or a reader in a larger format than your standard kindle and kobo affair so I could read textbooks properly.
An A4 or slightly larger eReader should have existed (and not cost ridiculous money) years ago.
- SZJX 6y agoHmm, it does exist though in the form of Sony Digital Paper, the first version of which was released a few years ago. I have one and it works quite well for me.
- titchard 6y agoAgreed, it does exist - but that model you speak of is £849 for me - that is not an accessible price. An iPad pro that is the same size is only £100 more for me, but then thats not what I am after. As ePaper and eInk has been around for a while now, I would expect that much like TVs the price per inch drops over time but it seems fixed at that 7" mark then the price rockets. I get that a larger format eReader is a smaller market than the standard book, but I don't get how I can get 10 kindles (or similar) for the same price as that Sony one just because of size. If someone can enlighten me why I'd be grateful, if after a certain point the screens get harder to manufacture maybe?
