Well there is the remarkable[1]. I'm not really sure if it would fit your needs, but It's worth a look imho.

Pro: As you get a root shell by default, it's nicely hackable and costs a lot less than the Onyx Boox Max.

Con: it's only 10.3".

Its not much cheaper if you compare to Onyx equivalent - Onyx Boox Note Air or Boox Note 3 which are also 10.3 and run on Android.

I have the 6” Onyx Boox and it definitely runs a weird distribution of Android. I wouldn’t be surprised if you can get root or even bootloader, but I haven’t needed it.

That said, if I buy one in the 10” range, it seems that Onyx hasn’t released modifications to GPL code so Remarkable might be a more ethical choice.
