Something similar or better (and relatively cheap) than BOOX M96?

Hi,

I was looking forwards some good ereader and came up to the ONYX BOOX M96. It seems to have what I'm looking for:

- 9.7" screen (can read scientific books and comics/mangas very well)
- stylus support with a good feedback (underlining and note taking, being able to forget of paper for simple notes)
- android with google play services (app choises and personalization)

The price at which I found it is around 320 euros, that would be fine for me for a durable device like this seems to be. But I saw that is a bit dated as device (should be came out in 2014), so I was wondering if I could find something better maybe around the same price (max 350€). I saw the "new" BOOX N96, but it seems almost the same and I can't seem to find a good price for it (higher base cost than M96 + high shipping costs).

Do you have any suggestions based the three things I'm mostly looking for?

If you are after e-ink (no LCD), then the M96 / N96 are your only choices. I think the M96 is out of production, so hurry up if you want to buy one... I agree I don't see much difference between that and the N96, although the latter is more expensive.
Manufacturers seem to be occupied with small (6 in.) and large (13 in.) readers these days, 10 in. seems to be ignored. I have not even heard any announcements of new 10 inch e-ink Android devices recently.
