With a cover, these devices are in the 10.3 inch weight class.
Although I have covers for these devices, I don't use them due to their weight.
I will probably make an exception with the Note Air, because the cover can also be used as a stand.

Yes the cover is the pain in the ass. I could find a kindle oasis cover with lower than 80g but it is really hard to find a cover (not even a light cover) dedicated for Onyx Boox. The default cover is heavy but there are no alternatives.

I don't notice a 42 g difference in this weight range.
3 GB RAM is far enough - I don't notice any difference between Likebook Ares (2 GB) and Likebook Alita (4 GB)
And if you can't get by with 32 GB of storage capacity, you won't get by with 64 GB and will need USB OTG anyway.
Battery capacity? I have sockets at home.
Anyway, I ordered one and it will arrive in the next few days.

I agree that your eye is designed for landscape format, therefore you can choose the landscape option on all Onyx devices. This
video shows how could you do a rotation to landscape. I currently set my device to landscape mode too.
Please enjoy your Note Air and thanks for your answer. If the design is the only advantage then I would consider Note 3. I always dream that Boox can create something like Kindle Oasis (optimized for one hand grab) but I don't think it should apply to a 420g device (I wouldn't hold an iPad for more than 15 minutes with one hand). In fact if they put the design on Nova or Poke it would make more sense.
Please enjoy your Note Air.
