For weight, I'd say the reMarkable is light enough to be comfortable to hold for some time; the Onyx is a bit too heavy for that to feel really comfortable.

For reading comfort, the larger display size of the Onyx is really significant; it allows me to read full-page PDF magazines (with rather small font size) or other full-page PDF documents, with absolutely no problems. But then, whenever I am reading for a long time, I tend to not hold the reader in hand; I'll instead lay it flat on a table, or on some kind of surface.

Interesting, so do you like the Boox2 more or the Remarkable? I pre-ordered but canceled. I've never got chance to try it.
