Boox Poke 3 -- is this the ereader I’ve been waiting for?

For a variety of reasons, I’m not a Kindle fan, but frustratingly I’ve found a great many of the books that I want are available nowhere but Amazon. Recently I even ended up writing to an author who sent me to his publisher in Wales just so I could purchase an epub edition of a book that was readily available on Amazon (I’m in the U.S.). I have converted many books purchased from Amazon, but increasingly finding myself running into difficulties and tiring of the bother. My library is now a fairly equal mix of epub and mobi purchased from Kobo, Amazon, and independent sites. I also borrow liberally from the library. The idea of one eink device that can easily read everything I own plus download books from the library directly has me over the moon. But several questions remain! When using an app (such as Kindle), do the settings on the ereader override the settings on the app (such as brightness and fonts)? Would there be any way to override the pesky (to me) page locations and replace them with page numbers on Kindle books that are not paginated (like my Sony and Nook do)? Does the Poke have an option for title headers, or would this be determined by the app I’m using? I know the Poke 3 is brand new, but if anyone has experience with the Poke 2 or a similar reader, I’d love to hear your thoughts and experience.
