Reviews of such devices are generally unhelpful and make exaggerated claims. You are out on your own when you've bought one. I'll start an appropriate thread if you like or maybe it would be better if you did. My contribution wouldn't be very positive.
For me, Boox and Likebook devices are essentially not readers, but Android EInk tablets, which of course can also be used as readers.
So I use my Boox Poke Pro as a glare-free navigation system (screen in X-Mode) in the car with Sygic as software. GPS / Glonass data comes from my smartphone via Bluetooth (Unihertz Atom - too small for the map display), the sound is output via the car radio (Bluetooth).
As a reader for on the go, I use my Boox Poke2 on which Osmand + (map application) is installed (GPS / Glonass via my smartphone)
As a reader at home I use Likebook Ares with 512 GB SD card with Caliber Companion + AlReader + Golden Dict and Kiwix with offline Wikipedia.
I have already described the purpose of my Alita.
I have color tablets, but I don't use them anymore.
