I have been looking at the Boox Go 7... I have a Boox Note Air and generally like it a lot after the major software upgrade it got when Air 2 was released and also particularly running Android has been quite handy (for syncing journal articles with Zotero). But I am also very curious about Supernote Nomad and may go that way if I decide backlight doesn't matter. I do like backlight for reading in be without bothering my wife...
The Palma 2 doesn't have stylus support. I seriously considered the Supernote Nomad, the modular design is neat, but went with the Palma 2 for the backlight and the Boox software, which seems to be superior to Supernote for everything but writing and notes. If my primary use case were note-taking rather than reading, I would have gone with the Supernote Nomad.
What’s wrong with android? I enjoy that it makes boox devices more expandable. For instance I installed termux and used a bluetooth keyboard for a very interesting development environment (vim + c compiler)
Why would Boox disable sideloading on their own Android build? Your comment makes as much sense as saying Google is going to disable sideloading on LineageOS and GrapheneOS. Boox doesn't give a flying shit about Google's Android certification program. Google has no claws on devices that have to sideload Play Store.
Is that true for people building off of open source android components (like Boox is doing)? What would you recommend as an alternative? As others have said, I doubt Google can disable sideloading when google play must be sideloaded on the device.

And so I keep spinning in indecision...
