With the Max2 they should had sticked to their original(?) plan to provide a dumb hdmi monitor and an ebook reader as 2 separate devices. There's no point putting it together in one. A rant about touch screens: If I want to read from a screen, why should I touch it with my fatty fingers?
So to choose the A17 was probably due to the hdmi support it provides.
Well, A9 is less efficient than A17, so it's legacy - there is to keep it but for specific practical cases (e.g. stock).

And I do not see a need to have two separate devices when you can have one. It makes no sense. You use the same display for different OS, one embedded one external.

You want touch the screen with your fingers to control it: it's uncomfortable without it. For greasy fingers, the solution on glass is to use matte screens, which are pretty much required nowadays since the default portable backlit screen is a mirror and glass looks good in a vacuum, and for extreme cases - since I cannot really see a smudged EPD screen - there are special gloves.
