It's worse than a 6.8″ 300dpi ereader.
The battery is cheap and easily replaced, but really I wonder was it a waste of my time and money!

I've done it for PW3 & DX. I'd not go back to using something that doesn't crop & turnpages on the device.

On DX/DXG we can install KPV viewer (Koreader for non-touch e-readers) which has got all the necessary pdf cropping & zooming functions, makes rendering faster and visually better because of its contrast function, and unlike DXG's native pdf reader it makes use of the whole screen.

The last 10.3 inch Boox device with a good screen was the Note Air 1.
The following Notes devices are provided with the deteriorating writing foil - the difference in quality is clearly visible.

Is 200€ for a Boox Note Pro (second hand but in great condition) a good price?

I imagine it's still rubbish compared with 8″ 300 dpi Sage or slightly less dots 10.3″ 227 dpi Elipsa. I've processed PDFs to both mono and 16 shades and cropped margins, but the unprocessed ones are still better on native PDF reader on 7.9″ 300 dpi Boyue Likebook Mars (Meebook P78 nearly identical) or Sage.

I did "jailbreak" my DXG simply to have sleep cover from book being read. I did change system fonts, which looks nicer but changed it back. Only used now occasionally to test new styles on mobi, but I most use the KK3 for that as it also gives an idea what azw3 might be like on older 167 dpi Kindle Basics as well as all the mobi only 6″ Kindles.

Also the Kindle DXG is simply too heavy to spend 4 hours plus reading a novel on. Still, I'd install KPV if I was giving it away. The 3G and 2G/Edge it uses is likely to still work here in Ireland for some years.

I hope Amazon learned from the DX/DXG for education debacle how NOT to do a PDF viewer on ink and Scribe a is sensible PDF ereader

Likebook p10 has 200ppi )) pen is bad as well... uhh... Boox note pro is better by all mean.Also I can't compare air2 screen with previous boox 10" since I don't have it. AIR2 still has a descent screen. Also I use it as notepad and really like to write on it.
