Very simple: Likebook devices are far superior to Boox devices in the area of data storage handling and I need a lot of space - my Alita has 160 GB of storage space, a size that Boox devices cannot keep up with.What Boox can do better has been reduced a lot with Android 8.1 - only split screen and some predefined shapes remain when drawing. That's why I bought Boox Note Air.

The accusation is just ridiculous, all you have to do is know what you need.
Apart from that I have more Boox (5 - Note Air, Nova 2, Poke 2, Poke Pro, Kepler Pro) than Likebook devices (3 - Alita, Ares, Air)

These Android stable devices are an overpriced geek's dream. I've been happy with the Alita using it as a standard e-reader but several times over the last week mine has gone to a black screen - battery at 70%. Restarting it put it right but this is not a great sign.
For reading I use reading devices such as the Tolino Epos 2, it weighs 195 g and I can hold it comfortably in my hand. On this device I have opened the Android below and I can read with my favorite app.

I doubt a faster processor matters with these devices. Without A2 mode the Alita is pretty slow which I'd guess is down to the screen technology and OS.
The OS is innocent of this - it's exclusively the screen technology that I made a conscious decision to use.
But you just make yourself ridiculous if you grumble about a device and a brand / manufacturer, if you bought it without knowing why and because you are not able to do what you originally intended.
