e-ink vs non backlit greyscale LCD (asus ea800 vs PB and Boox)

so after reading here for a while I narrowed down my selection to a few options.

I am in the US but I am from Italy and I can get a used Asus EA800 on ebay or local listings.

With the EA800 I like the fact that I can write notes and it seems east to browse pdf (zoom in, scroll, etc) and it seems a bit faster than the e-ink.

But I am also moving away from reading PDFs on a PC because I want the least eye strain possible.

I can't find any comparisons of the two screen types to make a decision.

I would be using this to read scientific papers for 80% of the time so that's what I am mostly concerned about.

any help is appreciated
