I have 10" eink Hanvon (an older 150 dpi eink with frontlight & pen) and several iPads & 10" Android tablets, but outdoors I still rather use DXG instead, for reading troublesome A4 pdf documents with 18-19 cm text width or for wider b/w comics, otherwise I use 8" Kobo outdoors for the majority of my pdf, djvu, epub documents.
I have all the necessary reading functions on DXG including a margin removal, since I always use KPV reader app, instead of its poor native pdf reader, and I can also read my Djvu books & documents using KPV.
Indoors, for troublesome A4 documents I usually use iPad, and also outdoors under a nice shade e.g. blanket over the rope in the garden or on the balcony.
If I were a student I'd definitely buy a new quicker 10" eink, but since I don't mind using a paper for the note taking and the reading speed is not essential to me, I'll probably make a good use of my DXG till the arrival of an affordable 10" color epaper.
Occasionally I even make a good use of my white DX (lower contrast than in DXG) and older 6" readers like Sony prst1, e.g. I'd simultaneously read the same book with DXG and DX but would use DX just for the notes at the end of the book or chapter, or would simultaneously use Sony prst1 for its good dictionaries.
