In short: use a proper sized tablet for reading comics and PDF-files and use proper sized BW eInk devices for pure ebooks and you do fine.
It won't beat any mono Carta eink with the front light off in enough ambient light. It does beat mono eink with a front light too bright, but only in plain sRGB mode with brightness and colour temperature adjusted and every epaper/Nxtpaper gizmo off.

It absolutely makes the Onyx Boox Colour I've seen in real life look like junk.

Everyone I've showed my Nxtpaper models to agrees that posting photos is pointless unless I have a better camera and the person viewing has a better screen. I've now got NxtPaper 40 4G (for 2FA in library), Nxtpaper 50 5G for portable and outdoor use and both camera and Pocketbook App ereading possible in direct sunlight. A Nxtpaper 11 and a Nxtpaper 15.

I use a Kobo Sage for novels at home. I use an original Libra H2O if I need a script to read or recording audio as it has 100% reliable page turn buttons.

I almost never use the front light on my Sage or Libra.
