I was hoping for a greater size - the standard Kindle sizes are totally unusable for users like me who mainly read PDFs.

After experimenting with larger e-ink screen sizes from other vendors I realized I also miss the snappiness of reading a real book. So in the end I settled for the cheapest 12-inch Chinese tablet I could get. Since I spend ca. 40-70 minutes a day reading, it's the best experience for me: the text is crisp, the contrast is perfect, and I can browse pages very quickly (not like in a real book, though, but the best experience so far).

Can you please point me to the website/device where you got that device? I'm looking for something similar but affordable.

The device is called Dogee T20 Ultra 12", I bought it from a local vendor for ca. 230 euro to avoid dealing with a Chinese vendor. Works without any problems and the battery lasts for many days with my usage pattern (that is only reading ca. an hour a day).

Edit: it looks like the TCL option the other person mentioned is better because of screen glare (I use mine indoors only but probably it would get uncomfortable in full sunlight).
