And I avoid buying duplicates easily by just checking my Calibre library.

YMMV, of course. I know that many people are not interested in liberating and managing their ebooks, but this limits their choices in ereaders. I can buy absolutely any ereader out there and read any of my ebooks on it.

You dont get it? The boox is more than just an ebook reader and that makes it far more useful
While I can appreciate one wanting basically a tablet so you can have apps, I want an ereader with just one reading app. YMMV.
