I've had my Boox for a few weeks and here are my thoughts:

Good
Folder support
Can buy books where I want (except B&N of course)
Connected to my home wifi with no problem
Quick page turns
Sketch works very quickly

Would be nice to have
More choice of fonts – the difference between medium and large is quite a bit. I can’t read with medium, but large is too big.
The ability to use the sketch feature on all formats.

General stuff
I can't see any flash when I take the stylus in or out of the slot – I read this is how you tell if the wacom screen is on or off

Bad
PDF reflow doesn’t work properly on any of the 3 PDFs I tried – the last letter of a line is frequently left on the following line by itself, even just using medium font size. The Boox manual has this problem – look at the Preface page. I also found that underlined words do not display properly.

The lettering is not black – makes it difficult to see in even the medium font for me.

So far battery life is only a few days for me even with wifi off most of the time.

Sometimes locks up, and once when it came back the right hand side of the screen was filled with vertical lines.

When attaching to the PC via USB it asks if you want to connect to the PC – if you do, you can’t do anything else while it is connected.
