You can use the device in vertical mode by either rotating the screen 180 degrees or by putting some cushioning underneath it such that the power button will not be triggered when standing upright.
And, actually, if you look closely at the photos on the vendor's site, you will see that, in the pictures of it in the vertical mode, the right side is slightly raised so that the power button is not being triggered. In the picture of the device in the horizontal mode, both sides are flush on the table. So the pictures on the site are not misleading in the least.
Usually, before spending a large amount of money on a device, I will do my homework, reading as much as possible on both the manufacturer and the vendor. That is what saved me from backing the Indiegogo campaign for the 13.3 inch Good e-Reader.
With expensive new devices, I will also often wait until others have been using it for a while to see how the device holds up in the real world. That`s why I waited to purchase my Max and why I didn't join in on the Remarkable campaign. There are often significant bugs in new devices when they first come out even with well known brands like Kobo and Kindle.
Unfortunately, for some reason, you neglected to do your homework before making your purchase and you are now having a case of buyer's remorse. However, as far as I can gather, the device does conform to the description listed on the website.

Hang on - so I’m meant to analyse those photos to see a teeny tiny support stopping the power button being depressed? And you really think that’s not misleading?
And by your logic, no one would buy any product, because who would be the first person to actually write about it as a customer, if every potential customer waited?
Finally, if that were the only issue I’d deal with it, but it’s not.
Why do you think it’s my fault the Boox Max 2 has these problems?!
