Why do those devices need 3GB RAM and 8-core CPU if they well, show books? There is no hurry there. Give us full-blown terminal and ssh/mosh at least.

I run any kind of android app on my boox, firefox, wikipedia, claude etc... You can install also google keyboard and enable swipe typing, it works really well. Only thing I am dissatisfied is the casing. It can break easily if you are a bit careless, unless you use its hardcover.

At least some of the Boox devices support Play Store, meaning that you can install termux.
