For whatever it's worth, the user that posted this link (onebookaday) appears to be a dedicated account for posting links to Boox products; active 7 months, 4 submissions, 5 comments, all surrounding the release and promotion of Boox products. I don't think it's expressly against HN guidelines ("Who's hiring" posts obviously have corporate accounts post), but it does seem a little disingenuous for the account not to disclose that information in either their comments or the profile's "About" information.

I own a Boox Note. Onyx shamelessly uses shill accounts on reddit and twitter to advertise their products. And yes, they are GPL violators.

My Boox isn't all terrible, but I would strongly suggest people check out Supernote or Remarkable instead. Both have their issues, but don't buy a Boox.

I own a first-gen reMarkable, and I really only have two complaints about it. Since the onboard CPU is fairly slow, I wish you could do the conversion to its internal format on an external computer, rather than the only option being for the device to do it itself. The other is I wish I could privately host the cloud services because I use the device for work. I have to leave all of the automatic syncing disabled since it only goes through their cloud service.

Other than those two, it was a game changer for me. Haven't picked up regular pencil and paper since. I do all my notes, designs, doodles, etc. on it.
