E-ink devices for data logging

Hello - I need a hand held device I can use to log attendance at outdoor events - LCD screens are too dim in bright sunlight. Is there an ebook reader that can handle Google sheets OK? I'm looking at the Onyx series which claim Android compatibility.
Thanks - David

Boox devices are not suitable for outdoors, as they are not waterproof.
Waterproof Android devices are Tolino Vision 3/4/5 and Epos 2 with Android 4.4.2 and Vision 6 with Android 8.1.
For Android 8.1 and firmware version 15.2.0 there is no possibility to install additional apps - for the delivered firmware 15.0 there is.

Ok, well, there's waterproof and WATERPROOF. Are we talking about SCUBA diving with a device? Most ANY device can be used outside. A bit of rain, just rub it off with your sleeve.

I would not use a Boox device for permanent outdoor mounting.

I didn't see anything about mounting. I thought we were talking about handheld, Google Sheets and someone tallying people with pom-pom hats.
