Sheet note: A Kindle and a Boox share the same 300ppi Carta glass, so the extra money buys an open Android OS that sideloads any app and reads any format, not a sharper page.
MMX score: editorial bench, 0 to 100, per channel. Value index: points per dollar, scaled so the channel's best ratio = 100.
