This is a general problem for Boox devices, I feel. I had the Max Lumi 1 for a week before returning it - the text was blurry and my eyes watered trying to focus on it. It seems like the glass layer that Onyx Boox uses on top of their devices makes the text slightly unfocused, which is made all the worse with the rather low PPI of the Lumi.
I have the same problem sometimes with my Nova 3 (it has better contrast than the Lumi and significantly higher PPI). I've mostly gotten used to it, but if my eyes are tired in the evening I sometimes have to switch to reading on my Hisense A5 Pro that doesn't have that problem.
The question is whether the Air 1 has a better screen than the Lumi 1. Neither has a screen film added. The latter has a slightly lower PPI than the former - 207 vs 226.
I think you would have to see it in person to know.
If you don't need it now, I would wait for the next releases by Boox and hope that they use the latest Carta technology for a higher contrast. And hopefully they can fix the general fuzziness, too.
