How do you use it? I assume you then place your Boox device on a table and read from further away?
That might be convenient for a bigger model (10"+). However, I usually read in foreign languages, so I often have to look up a lot of words. Having my fingers at the ready by the screen would minimize unnecessary movement.
I like the idea of having the physical buttons separate on the case. It just seems like an odd choice to have it on the left side. (Yes, I understand the screen can be rotated - still making the right side the default seems more natural to me.)
A bigger problem would be the smaller battery. My Nova 3 drains a bit too fast for me. I use wifi to sync books and reading position; it's on all the time in the background so as not to forget to sync. On the other hand I never use the frontlight, so maybe it evens it out.
