I was about to answeer this : easier reading experience (length and in sunny environment), battery life (4 weeks compared to at most a few hours).
A tablet with its bright screen (it is usually not advocated to read a long time on them) and all its gadgets (video/audio/connectivity/gps/sensors/camera/...) seems to me by far inadapted if your main goal is just to take some notes during a course, to annotate some documents and to read books/mangas ...
To my opinion, the onyx boox max has already too much : bluetooth and audio; removing them would have allowed for more battery life or lighter weight (if less battery units). But of course, the seller knows better than I what customers I likely to buy ...
The ideal ereader would have :
- a size of screen great enough to take notes (depends of your hand size, somewhere between A5 and A4 paper format at first guess)
- a dual touch screen (fingers + stylet) : should allow to take notes as if on paper, with the ability to come back to previous notes, to switch between them with fingers ... (this is a software requirement)
- battery life > 1 week
- free open system like android, at least rooting possible
- hardware (cpu unit / ram / storage) enough to allow smooth experience in most usages, so probably ram > 1GB, and storage extension
- a way to communicate with the world : wifi
and that is all.
For the rest, as you say, there are tablets
