Kobo is sold in Canada. The Aura HD is 265dpi with 6.8" diagonal. Fine
for reading PDFs. And the newer model H2O is just as good, I use mine
every day.

I piced up a used 9.7 inch Onyx Boox off ebay.
I live in CANADA so got the useless AMAZON -- no selecton, massive
shipping charges, and no products sold from CANADA. Try and find a printed page size PDF
reader, or one a tad smaller. Reading a PDF on a KINDLE DOES NOT WORK.
I suggest you look at the Kindle DX.
I bought one. I got it 2nd hand, from the USA, via eBay.

When I was looking for a new reader, all I could find was the 6" crap
on the web, thus my kindle statement. Until they bring back the DX
I still feel we are stuck with crappy low priced readers and windows 95
windows.
One of the main reasons I got it is that it
renders PDFs well and a
lot of important computer history books and the like are only readily
available as PDFs.
Where do you get them? I know of Bitsavers but that is all.

PS: WIRTH still has his stuff around for GUI system.
