The eink versions of Android may sometimes be incompatible, and certainly some work poorly with eink on my Boyue Likebook (Mars), now Meebook.

Nobody puts DRM on academic papers. They just watermark. Most of the DRM'd textbooks are undergrad stuff IME.

Why exactly? I don't remember it being particularly amazing in my time using it. And you get the added negative of dealing with the idiotic way iOS handles files.
Boox's pretty great. The only real con I run into with academic papers on my Boox Note Air is lack of color but most papers at least in my field don't need color to begin with. So long as you get one big enough and not excruciatingly slow eInk is fine for PDFs. Academic papers are mostly text on pages all the same size. It's fine.
