Neither is "better" in an absolute sense. It depends more on your needs.

They both have the same resolution and they both use the same panel.

The software is very different.

Boox can do more things because it is has Android and can run apps. You aren't locked into a specific ecosystem.

The kobo experience is more polished but you are more limited in what you can do.

We would really need some specifics of how you intend to use the device. Do you buy books on another device and then sideload them? Do you prefer to buy books directly from the device? Do you have an existing library? What are you reading? Novels, technical documents, pdfs, manga, comics, etc.

Everyone will have their own preference here but what is important to you specifically is all that really matters.

EDIT: From your other posts it seems like you already have experience with both Kobo and Boox. Which do you prefer?
