#2Rather than all that to turn an e-reader into a tablet, consider a general tablet that's an excellent outdoor/travel e-reader already:

It's not e-paper, it's a different approach called "Live Paper" that's far more practical for everything beyond reading, yet still fantastic in direct sun:

Pair it with a slotted Macally keyboard for travel with a stand slot and 3+ mos charge:

This fits in the Daylight computer pouch.
For reading, use Kindle (or any Android reader) in landscape 2 page mode for an experience that's like reading a paperback, or portrait for textbooks/PDFs. Work beautifully in the brightest direct sun, or read with calming firelight colored backlight in the dark.
Runs M365 suite perfectly, so ideal as an all in one.

Was thrown off at first: your hn discussion link is for 2024, not 2004 (as currently written).

All what? Most Boox products are Android tablets with e-ink screens and pen support. Few are marketed as, or realistically interpreted as e-readers.

How exactly is it different in screen and hardware to the Boox Go 10.3 (gen II)

#6"Android tablets have never reached the same level of prestige as the iPad among developers. In practice, that translates into a notable scarcity of apps adapted for the big screen."
Which is the chicken and which is the egg? I found it hard to even find a decent e-mail client for my Android tablet, but for phones you can have your pick.
