The boox indeed is nice.

These days I do quite a bit of field work outdoors (taking measurements, ssh'ing into mobile equipment) and a laptop is a chore to use in broad daylight. With the boox I can connect a bluetooth keyboard and install termux. It's not a perfect setup, but sure beats squinting at a dim screen.

Ha, I actually thought about getting a Boox when I started spending some time in my garden to work this summer cause of that exact same reason. Good to hear that it's actually feasible.

		Both of you caught my curiosity so I went reading about these. On paper they seem perfect but it sounds like there are build quality issues and their warranty leaves a lot to be desired (reports of devices failing after months and warranty says it's $275 to fix, user fault) so I am steering clear.
