Thoughts on BOOX Tab Ultra C? (shop.boox.com)

Does anyone here have a BOOX e-paper tablet? I'm a big fan of e-paper devices—I love my Pebble smartwatch, Kindle Paperwhite, and Light Phone II. I've been eyeing the Tab Ultra C for quite a while, and I am considering the pros and cons. Mostly, I intend to use it for browsing the web and maybe some light note taking and document writing.

Have they addressed this issue since? This device sounds amazing but I have a suspicion that they did modify it and probably with something shady going on

Edit: the reply towards the bottom of this thread says some user found connections to chinese servers so they're probably logging

Edit 2: I wonder if the pinenote is any good
