Jon, for what it's worth given that the OP is planning to read in landscape and has done so before, it would appear that they know what the experience will be like. Other than the desire for an A2 refresh mode, almost any ereader capable of running KOReader should be able to meet their requirements.

Also, please drop the repetitive suggestions that they need a larger screen. A 6" eInk screen has a vertical dimension of 12.26cm while a 8" eInk screen has a horizontal dimension of 12.19cm and a 7" eInk screen has a horizontal dimension of 10.7cm. So in landscape mode, a 6" ereader has a wider screen than either a 7" or 8" in portrait mode. Yes. more page turns will be needed but the OP is apparently very willing to live with that drawback. Considering they are coming from a NST with a 600x800 167 DPI eInk Pearl screen, any modern 6" ereader will be a definite upgrade.

And perhaps try to be a bit more sensitive since that price point may be all that the OP can afford at this point in time.
