I use termux and boox 3 for this and it works amazingly well. The main reason why I haven't switched 100% to not using a laptop is that I haven't found a portable keyboard to go with it yet.

That is a feature, not a bug. Fragmentation leads to protocols instead of products which is why we have the internet instead of whatever monstrosity Bell would have produced had the arpanet never happened.
