I would get a Nova 3, as the screen seems clearer than on the Nova Air. This is if you really want or need the features of the latest software. Otherwise I would probably keep the device.

EDIT: I just remembered: the software for at least the Russian Kon-tiki doesn't update over the air. You'd have to manually download and install the update. So there might be updated firmware for it already. But you would have to find it on their website.

The latest firmware can be found here: https://onyxboox.com/support/boox_kontiki2

It might be that you are already using the latest firmware, since you bought the device recently.
Thanks for the info about the Nova Air. Interesting that Nova 3 has better clarity. Wonder if that’s due to the non-removable screen protector on the Air?

The firmware you linked to is the one that came with my device so looks like its at the current version.

One of the reasons I went for the Russian version is it doesn’t have the WACOM layer which I heard improves screen clarity. Any idea how the Nova 3’s screen compares to the Kon-Tiki2’s?
