Thoughts on BOOX Tab Ultra C? (shop.boox.com)

Does anyone here have a BOOX e-paper tablet? I'm a big fan of e-paper devices—I love my Pebble smartwatch, Kindle Paperwhite, and Light Phone II. I've been eyeing the Tab Ultra C for quite a while, and I am considering the pros and cons. Mostly, I intend to use it for browsing the web and maybe some light note taking and document writing.

I get it...it's hard to say something you know is incorrect, accuracy of language going to shit and other modern problems, and I feel that. I think of it as more of a "internal lighting that illuminates the device interface." In dealing with non-technical people on a daily basis, I find it's much more productive to allow/ignore this sort of colloquialism unless it's that specific thing I'm trying to fix/undo/explain. I barely even flinch now when people refer to the large box on their deck as the "CPU." ;-)
