For reading it does a bad job (check the reddit) and at a pricepoint of 800$, a boox might be better

Not sure where you got the $800?
The Boox has many different models so specifying a price without a model wouldn't make sense, so I assume you were referring to the RM2.
The RM2 is US$400, which is expensive compared to e-readers, but is not $800. And BTW, yes, it is annoying how USD are just assumed, but that is our reality for better or worse (and I'm not an American).

800$ was at the remarkable 2, but I didn't realize it put the pricing in Canadian Dollars, so the total for a tablet + "pen plus" ended up being 800$ CAD, not 800$ USD.
