I have a Kindle which has a 6.8 inch screen. I've been wanting to pick up another ereader, but I don't want a smaller screen. I'd prefer a 7 inch screen, since that seems to be closest to the Kindle. I've been looking at Boox and Kobo readers, but all their 7 inch screens have hardware buttons rather than touch. I have not found a 7 inch screen with touch. Does anyone have a recommendation, or am I stuck with hardware buttons?
I can't say for Boox but to the best of my knowledge, you can still use touch on the Kobo readers with physical buttons, if that's the problem though I understand if it comes down to the different form factor.
I checked the boox page and it definitely has full normal multitouch support. It needs to for Android to really work. But I would expect most others to as well.
I think the kobo aura hd meets your needs. Genuinely curious about not wanting the physical buttons, is it just a form factor thing? (I was nervous about my Voyage failing for a while because I don't want to move to something without buttons and there wasn't much on the market for a long time that was good quality with buttons)
