The web browsing option isn't quite as great as I had hoped
The web browsing option on my Onyx Boox is OK, but of course it's not like browsing on a PC. The screen size is only 6", and most web sites don't look good at that size. Refresh rate on an e-ink reader is slower than you're used to on a PC. And instead of using a physical keyboard to type a URL you need to use the slower virtual keyboard (included in recent versions of the firmware).

These restrictions are inherent to the type of device an e-reader is, and have nothing to do with the quality of the browsing software. The primary goal of the reader is reading, not browsing. If browsing is more important for you than reading, you should buy another type of device.
