Hello, I am new to the forum, although over the years I have read the discussions with great interest.

I am interested in purchasing the Onyx Boox Max2. I see that there are multiple places that I could purchase it (e.g., ereader store, amazon.ca (I am in Canada), www.ectaco.com...etc.)

I am most familiar with purchasing from amazon.ca, just because I have purchased there many time before. But I am concerned / confused about potential differences of the units from the difference places (e.g., booxtor version vs. Chinese retail version...etc.).

Is the hardware and / or software with the Onyx Boox Max2 different depending on the location of purchase? Are they subsequently interchangable (e.g., can I install booxtor version updates to the amazon.ca version?), is there are superior version?

Any advice / guidance will be greatly appreciated.
