Literary scientists are not the majority of people who are buying and using eReaders.
It would be like saying everyone needs a tank not a car. Why? Because tanks can break through brick walls and a car is incapable of doing that without falling apart.
It's true, but not relevant to the usage of almost all vehicle buyers.
I don't want a faded color screen. I don't want a screen larger than six inches. I don't want an e-Ink Android tablet. And plastic cases are fine for me, as my Kobo readers never creak (probably because I don't "put pressure on them" – and why I would want to, I have no idea). And I don't want to buy an eReader that costs $450. So your Boox choice would not be "superior" to me because it's not what I want.
What's "superior" to you is not superior to me. To me the best built eReaders I own are my Kindle Voyage and Nook Glowlight 3 (because both have very good screens) and solid cases. But I mostly use my PocketBook HD 3 because I like its versatility, features and the way it renders ePubs best. The screen is good, but it's build quality is not as solid as the Kindle or Nook. I take care of that by putting it in a solid case.
What eReaders that are "superior" to any particular person depends on their tastes and priorities.
