I own Max2 for a long time but honestly I use it only for reading PDFs as I prefer to read regular ebooks on 6" reader. With the latest firmware update there is a new X refresh mode which is really fast. I doubt there is any room to improve the speed on this eInk. However in general, I find the Max2 screen too small to do my typical work.
In fact I just jumped here from my email digest to share my view on the state of the affairs. Few years ago I was also fed up with working long hours staring at a bright screen, however nowadays all my devices are in dark mode. Dark mode got everywhere, as the main OS theme (be it my phone or macbook or windows 10) and it's gradually getting to every web page. Luckily chromium (chrome, MS Edge, and all derivatives) added a special tweak "Force dark mode", since that day I cannot complain anymore. I really got used to it and love it! No more eyes fatigue!
Some additional tips for using dark mode which I apply:
1. significantly lower the contrast setting. Somehow white fonts on a dark background also hurt my eyes long term, they shouldn't stay out that much (should be gray color)
2. increase font size and font boldness on high resolution screens. To my taste the stroke width has to be ~0.5 mm to be comfortable to read in dark mode. Unfortunately there's so many software out there which makes it wrong, i.e. very thin stroke
3. use matte finish screens ;-)
