I have one and I really like it (upgrading from an early Kindle Paperwhite) I find that that the built in e-reader software (which handles epub, pdf, djvu and other common formats) works better than installing standard Android applications for that purpose (although those also work if sometimes a bit sluggishly). In terms of Android apps, I mostly use Libby, as my public library uses that for not only ebooks but e-magazines. I read The Economist and The New Yorker that way, which is nicer than reading it using Libby on my phone as I used to do.

It won’t be released until November, if I read the article correctly. Did you mean to say you have a different model?

This is simply not true. I've had mine since February. It is a 7" ONYX Boox Leaf. Either the article is incorrect, or they are referring to some sort of updated version of it (still calling it the 7" Leaf).

The article says it was announced in November. This device has been available for a while, you can find user reviews already.
