No, I don’t find it misleading. The device can be used as shown. And the placement of the power button on the Max devices is a well known issue.

Perhaps if everyone were as cautious as me, that would be the case. However, there will always be early adopters of new technology. Some have more technological expertise and are able to independently solve issues that might arise. Others have more disposable income.

Why do you think it’s my fault the Boox Max 2 has these problems?!

As I already stated, new devices will initially have bugs. If you look at the thread about the original Max when it first came out, there were significant issues with the software. Many of them have been remedied with subsequent updates to the firmware. I waited until many of the bugs had been ironed out before making my purchase.
I expect there will be similar birthing pains with the Max 2. I also expect that they will be ironed out. If you choose to be an early adopter, that is a risk that you undertake. As a software engineer, that is surely something you should be aware of.
Also, some of your complaints seem somewhat frivolous. For example, your comment about imperfect English in the software or latency issues when using a mouse. I find the English on the Max to be quite passable and expect that the English on the Max 2 is rather similar. Latency issues when using a mouse on eink devices are well known and to be expected.
