So I was thinking about buying the BOOX Nova Pro 7.8 inch from Amazon US. Specifically this model.

https://www.amazon.com/BOOX-Nova-Pro...ct_top?ie=UTF8

I, however, have few questions before I jump on it.

1. I'm a university professor in the STEM field, and I would like to use it for reading papers, and taking notes at meetings, scribbling math when an idea pops up etc. I don't anticipate using it for browsing the internet (other than transferring PDF files etc.). What type of battery life can I expect?

2. Is 7.8 inch enough for reading and doing notes? I know 10.3 would be better, but I also want something that is more compact. Why does everyone think?

3. I read somewhere that it was priced at $299. Why is it then $319.99 everywhere I look? Have they increased the price?

4. The Amazon page says "Sold By Onyx and fulfilled by Amazon". Does that mean I can return it within 30 days and get a complete refund like other Amazon items? I know this may not be a question for this place, so I apologize in advance.

5. Anyone who has this model can talk about the pros/cons of this e-ink tablet?

Thanks.
