Which 10 inch e-reader should I buy?

Hi, I've been thinking of buying an e-reader for a while now.
I do not have experience reading from tablets\e-ink devices. I mainly read from laptops and it is inconvenient.

I have watched many videos of different e-readers and also read some of what people have to say in this forum.
It seems that 10-13 inch device is the size for PDF reading.

What I am looking for in a device -
* Can handle PDF properly.
* I prefer 10 inch over 12-13 inch device(mainly because of the price difference but also because 13 inch seems inconvenient?).
* Quick page turns and easy to adjust the page view(it doesn't have to be as fast as tablet but I have seen some devices with 5 seconds page turn).
* The less zoom in\out the better.
* Dictionary is fast and easy to use(a possiblity having 2 languages would be great).


I currently have the Onyx Boox N96\N96ML in mind as it seems to fit most of my needs but my concerns are that some people complained about the software being somewhat "buggy", for example -
Scribbling\typing on a PDF and then it won't save it.
Some reader apps on the N96ML don't support the page turn buttons.
On the N96(capacitive touch), if you put your hand on the screen while scribbling it might interfer?
I saw some complaints about the dictionary and I need to be sure the device will have a proper dictionary as I mentioned above(does anyone know if it is possible to implement a dictionary app from the store on reader apps?).

The lack of 10 inch e-ink readers(let me know if there is a better option than the N96) made me think that maybe a tablet(Ipad Pro?) could be better since the hardware and software are probably better, but LCD\LED is not e-ink and there is the price difference aswell.


I would appreciate it if people who have experience using tablets\e-ink devices(preferrably 10 inch) would help me.
-Maybe someone knows if there will be a new 10 inch device worth waiting for in 2017?

Thanks.
