The Boox devices have the following advantage that they can be set to landscape format by the system (Boox Note Air can do this automatically thanks to the built-in position sensor), while the Likebooks require an additional app, which does not always work.

I therefore use Boox Note Air in landscape format (general computer / office use in a bright environment) and Likebook Alita in portrait format (notes in music sheets, study documents, ...).
I gave Boox Nova 2 to my daughter and I use the Likebook Ares as an "emergency device" for on the go.

All of these devices can use the A2 mode - I don't use the Boox X-Mode.

These devices are too unwieldy for me in bed, so I read on 6 inches - Boox Poke 3 (at home), Likebook P6 (on the go, because of SD card).

Hints:
EInk is too slow to use a mouse or touchpad - the pointer jumps as it moves; with the Wacom pen, however, you can easily move the cursor to the desired position.
All of my 7.8 inch Wacom devices have the sun bug - the screen turns gray in direct sunlight, but it disappears again when refreshed.
In terms of storage, the Likebook devices are much less dependent on a main computer; they have extended file system handling on SD card (I use 512 GB) and USB-OTG - with Boox there is only FAT32.
7.8 inch screens and that of the Boox Note Air have a glass substrate - they can break - the other 10.3 inch screens (Likebook Alita, Boox Note 2/3) have Mobius.

I can't say anything about the Likebook P10 (10 inch, glass) - but in my opinion it doesn't have any of the advantages of the Likebook Alita.

In general: all newer Boox and Likebook devices can use the A2 mode and have Bluetooth - keyboards, remote controls, loudspeakers, headphones, GPS receivers, etc.

I cannot give you a recommendation, it depends on your needs and the possibilities, but in my opinion the best "all-rounder" is the Likebook Alita, because it can be used completely independently of a main computer.

I haven't mentioned one device that you should think about yet - Likebook Mars (7.8 inches), with only 16 GB of memory, but which can be expanded using an SD card and (except for Wacom and speakers) everything "big" Likebook devices can.
