I have a Boox Ultra C. It has the same screen, I can confidently say the colours are utter shite for any kind of colour sensitive work or media. However, they're more than good enough for conveying information, like different coloured lines on a chart.
The colours also look sharp as fuck, as the grey scale is still used for brightness, and the colour just tints it. Meaning it looks a lot sharper than 150ppi and almost indistinguishable from 300ppi
How is your boox, BTW? Would you recommend them?
I'm in the market and they look interesting to me but the price is a bit of a shocker
I would get a Galaxy Tab if the E-Ink isn't vital for you. But otherwise it's a very capable E-Int tablet, and it running Android means you can do anything on it you can an Android tablet.
The real killer is the latency though, for most things it's pretty bad, except in Boox's own apps where it's so damn quick it feels like writing on paper.
I wouldn't recommend it unless you know it's exactly what you're looking for, but if it is what you want then it's easily best in class
