Unfortunately, ONYX doesn't seem to care about the GPL: http://bbs.onyx-international.com/t/install-linux-or-alterna... .

I own an Boox Note Pro myself and there are some known issues with this device, e.g. http://bbs.onyx-international.com/t/boox-note-pro-capacitive... .

The interaction with support was … very frustrating to say the least.

Is this the only option for 13''? I am looking for something that can display sheet music to my poor eyesight.
There's another Android 13" eink tablet I know of, the Bigme X6 but the Onyx Boox Max Lumi or Max Lumi 2 are both cheaper and should basically do the same thing (load any Android apps). The Fujitsu Quaderno A4 is an option too but it only supports loading PDFs and has no third party apps (w/o rooting it).

The Dasung Paperlike 3 HD or Onyx Boox Mira are 13.3" monitor solutions as well, something to consider if you want to hook them up just as output to run w/ arbitrary software (both companies have 25" versions as well).

Thanks for your answer!
I am not really sure, but I believe these are rebranded Boox Lumis.
For 13" e-paper document readers, there's the Fujitsu Quaderno A4 or its predecessors, the Sony DPT-RP1 / DPT-S1. They are PDF only, since they were intended for professional use.
