I love my Boox (nova C color). Draw on it, write hundreds of pages of journals on it longhand, read essays, newspapers and comics and books on it daily. For the past couple years. I gave up other tablets once I got it.
What it is NOT good at is doom scrolling, social media, or video. The format and refresh rate actively discourage that... and also, the battery may go all day with wifi off, but it drains pretty quickly once you're online. It is definitely an offline device, with the full range of Android functionality (and amazing offline handwriting recognition).
I take it out to read and write for hours every evening, and don't carry anything else. Bar none the best device I've ever owned for mixing creative and literary pursuits and turning my back on the shittified internet.
