Huawei MatePad Paper – eInk Tablet

Also eInk means that the display doesn't have a backlight, which means it doesn't catch your eye and steal your attention. +1 feature missing that makes it better.

Isn't what the Boox Max Lumi & Co have a "Backlight" ? https://shop.boox.com/products/maxlumi2

I found that this made a big usability improvement in low light situations over previous eInk readers I owned, and that in practice there were more low light situations (or at least situations where I'd rather not turn on a light just to read).

Footnote 20-22 indicates it has a backlight. Which is honestly something I want just because I want to be able to read in a dark or low light room. Something which has kept me from buying a remarkable.
