I am on the edge between these two. I don't really need to take notes, so if there are other options in the 13" range I would be happy to consider.

Uses

- Reading PDFs (1-2 columns), very occasionally browsing, connecting to my PDF library via Zotero android app.

- Easily transfer files, in particular PDFs, from my computer, or open them directly from internet.

- Use as a second monitor definitely a plus, and other uses that these more powerful readers can offer.

In terms of hardware I prefer the Sony since it's lighter, which is a big point since I travel a lot, but in terms of software the Boox seems much better and more flexible and it's more recent. The Sony seems a close system but it can be rooted, although starting to root a new expensive device doesn't seem the best way to start.

They both seems to work with reference software such as Zotero and Mendeley.

Possibility of turning off front lighting, I don't understand if this is possible.

EDIT: I meant front light, NOT back light.
