Hallo,
I tried 2 devices that you mentioned, the nova color 3 and max lumi, while using them for your same purpose.
Even though the colors are refreshing to have while reading, as I find it more "natural" and enjoyable, you have to crank the screen brightness so high, that is almost feels like an LCD display regarding the eye straining brightness, while not having the clarity and the contrast of an LCD display. The color filter does indeed affects the contrast and sharpness of texts. This is why I am sending the Nova color 3 back.
The reading option in Neoreader are good enough to read in columns where is needed. Tough it is going to be very cramed in split screen. I just noticed, that you can not read in columns in split screen.
The Max Lumi is really a blessing in it is size, though less portable. You can read fullpage PDFs with a bit of cropping almost in full-size,
I had a boox note before but sold it, as PDFs had to be cropped almost always and the column view was to big to follow the text without jumping with your eyes if you understand what I mean.

With the Nova 3 Color out now, I'm curious to see whether or not it is a viable device for reading medical textbooks and articles. I think the size is perfect for portability's sake, but I am concerned that the screen is just a little bit too small for optimal PDF viewing (are the reflow features amenable to documents with many figures?). If anyone has had any experiences viewing textbooks and similar academic material on the Nova 3 Color, particularly in splitscreen notetaking mode, I'd love to hear it!
My next alternative in consideration is the Note Air, though I am concerned that the 10" size might be a bit too unwieldy to comfortably carry in one hand and worried that the lack of color may compromise the ability to properly view certain content (especially stuff like histology slides where dye color matters). The price point is also stretching the budget a bit, especially since I'd like to get a stylus with an eraser on the end, so anything bigger like the Max Lumi is not really a consideration. The size does seem better for PDF viewing, notetaking, and drawing though, so it remains a strong contender- if anyone has any input regarding their experiences viewing similar material on the Note Air, it would be great to hear too!
Thanks!
