Regarding PDFs:

I have a boox A60 (6 inch reader), but I assume the firmware is similar. I've been using it for over a year. For 99% of pdfs, the page turns instantaneously. I only read one pdf on my boox where it took several seconds like in the video. It was a 12MB pdf of a scan from google books. If you have a natively generated pdf (rather than a pdf of a scan) even with images etc, you won't have that bad delay.

When he rotates the boox in the video, it doesn't fill the screen. That is because he is in single page mode rather than "scroll pages" mode. I always use the latter mode when viewing pdfs and it fills the width of the screen.

The boox's ability to customize your zoom by selecting an area with the pen is really nice.
