They are not intentionally misleading: it is hard to judge a screen, without using it. But obviously I agree with you: these video are immensely useful.

Yes clear. For coding the important factors are (in personal order of importance):

* readable fonts (hopefully with anti-aliasing)
* input lag (for inserting new text)
* efficient refresh of small part of the screen (for editing, and IDE completition hints)
* smooth scrolling inside the same document
* how many code is visible in the screen without the need of scrolling
* gray-levels
* text artifacts and ghost images
* speed of refresh in case of a completely new page (documentation web-site and so on)

Obviously e-ink is a technology with some drawbacks so I can live with some compromises. But is anyone satisfied with Boox in this usage scenario? Me sincerely not yet, because the A2 mode is fast, but there are no gray-levels and anti-aliasing, while the EPD mode through VNC is promising, but there is too much input lag (at least with my settings).

All can improve with time (upgrades of firmware, better settings on my side, and so on), so I'm optimistic for the future, and in any case the Boox has a lot of additional features, and very powerful hardware.
