Onyx tab ultra, worth to upgarde?

Hello,

Apologies if there was a thread discussing this, my searching skills are not so great...

I currently own Onyx Max 2 and Hisense RLCD tablet. Truth be told, both have shortcomings. The Max2 is good only for using at your desk as it's too big and doesn't have any light for using in bed. The Hisense is only good for summer outdoor use (but it's awesome in this conditions), however it's rather hard to use in normal indoors condition, I really have to adjust the light and head position to see it uniform-clearly when using at home.

I've just seen an Black Friday ad for Onyx tab ultra. I wasn't following any e-ink news, etc, but a short video about this one caught my attention:
- it has front light
- it has improved refresh speed (on a video comparing it with Air Note 2 Plus was like 2 times faster in web browser)

However reading reviews I've seen a battery problem is emerging in most complaints. Some people say it's roughly 1 week, but others who claim to use it for note taking and web browsing exclusively say it last no more than a day. What's the truth?

Moreover, I've started thinking about buying Boox Nova Air 2 plus. People say it holds the battery for weeks, so much like Max 2, whilst have a front light.


What's your opinion, if you own any of the devices, should I forget about changing my reader in favor of any ow the two? If you own Tab Ultra, are you annoyed about battery life (and is it really faster...)?

Lastly, I've learned that there is already a Tab Ultra C, a color e-ink version. However it seems it has half of the resolution in color mode, but it's hard/impossible to control it so in practice the half-resolution is the norm. Looking at some YT video it also appeared to me that there is a heavy ghosting in color mode (also ghosting of b&w content on color page). I can see such only if I turn my Max 2 in the fastest refresh mode.


Many thanks
