Is this your model? Same B0C3MG289R ASIN on UK & DE.

Now 25% off on Amazon DE, thus €199 inc Irish VAT, so I bought one.
Can't figure out what the TCL T-Pen stylus is. I'll test it with MPP/Ntrig/Kobo (I've several makes) and if that fails, a 3rd party Apple Pencil.

It seems a big upgrade on the sub-par NxtPaper 10, which nevertheless had good reviews for ereading.

Existing here:
Kobo Elipsa 1404 x 1872 @227dpi
Kobo Sage 1440 x 1920 @300 dpi
Lenovo Yoga 10 800 x 1280 @149 dpi Android 10, very glossy and slightly purple screen. 256 G SD Card.

Nxtpaper 11 1200 x 2000 approximately 220 dpi Android 13. Takes SD Card.
Because it's full colour and at least 254 greys vs 14 greys of the Elipsa, the apparent sharpness of text is higher, even if there wasn't any kind of subpixel addressing. As it's colour the underlying LCD resolution is either x3:1 higher or x2:2 depending on the filter design.

The biggest cause of eye-strain and headaches with any display is the eyes unconsciously focusing on a reflection, not the light colour (the blue of cheap LCD backlights does no harm and conflicting evidence if it keeps you awake).

It's not as good an aspect ratio for one-up pages as the Elipsa, but decent upgrade of my old tablet which I use for Viber, occasional browsing and colour PDFs.
