So I've found my seller, nice and reliable, and now I'm just dithering over two similar models of Eken tablet. The only difference is size. One is 7" (diagonal screen measurement as usual), the M009S. It measures 200 x 127 x 17 outside, 153 x 91 screen, and has a resolution of 800 x 480. The other is 8", the M003S, and it measures 207 x 158 x 12mm outside, 158 x 124 screen, resolution 800 x 600. It would probably cost me about £15 more, taking into consideration that keyboard-cases are a bit rarer for this one, but in the grand scheme of things that's not much. The 8" is also heavier, 448g instead of 334g, which is probably too little to notice. What I'm primarily interested in is how comfortable it will be as an ereader, whether the larger one will be too big to hold comfortably (bear in mind that I have small hands and muscular problems). The larger one will certainly hold more text on its screen, probably to the point that it's more comfortable for ebooks, and certainly better for internet browsing. The smaller one would be a bit more portable, I've a feeling the larger one will be just slightly too big for my handbag, but then if anyone's going to take it outside the flat, it'd probably be D, and not often at that.

Therefore I've fiddled with images and e-texts to do a proper comparison. Photos! )
