To be fair: Part of it is handsize compatibility, of course, which isn't the device's fault. Myhands are long-fingered but the 10" devices, whether it's the Kindle 10 or the Boox, etc. just don't seem to fit the hand, not for me. And I'm not some petite five-footer, either; I'm reasonably tall for my era (5'8"+), and my hands are proportionate. (shrug).

But innovation? No. Last device in the eInk world that I loved was my Voyage, which has gone to that great electronic graveyard in the sky. I did not care at all for the Oasis and quickly replaced it with this newest, latest and greatest Uber-Paperwhite thing, which I do like.

I'm not sure what handsize compatibility is exactly but I find my 10.3" Boox Note Air to be as easy to use as a modern iPad. Easier actually because the bezel on the one side is thicker so it's easier to hold without touching the screen. I don't have giant hands either. Of course YMMV but it's my favorite eink device ever.
