do you know of an e-ink device that runs a fairly standard and up-to-date (google play store compatible) version of android? such a thing would be pretty useful for me.
- Erlich_Bachman 8y agohttps://onyxboox.com/ https://onyxboox.com/ are making some very cool devices, I think most are running Android. It might not be updated by the manufacturer every 6 months (not even many phones do that), but it definitely runs most of the latest apps.
- eichin 8y agoThe particularly cool bit: at least the Boox Max 2 has HDMI input so I can pop it up on my thinkpad as an external monitor (kind of clumsy, needs power too, but I've run emacs on it Just Fine...)
- abawany 8y agoI recommend reading the Onyx forum on Mobileread (https://www.mobileread.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=220 https://www.mobileread.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=220) before making any decisions. In particular, the vendor that you buy from will make a big difference in your support experience - Booxtor's store (https://ereader.store/en/ https://ereader.store/en/) is a good place since they tend to release firmware updates proactively and work on the above forum to troubleshoot issues. Onyx is an interesting company. Their devices are amazing IMO (e.g. the Boox Max 2) but some of the issues that people encounter has tended to scare me a bit. I still hope to get a 13.3" Android-based e-reader some day.
