They did, indeed, release an update. However, whether that update resolves more issues than it creates is still to be determined. It should be noted that the update will also remove access to the Google Play Store from the device.
From comments on their Indiegogo page where only bonafide backers can post comments, only one person has reported so far on attempting to install the update. It apparently did not go well. Quote:
And also from that same comments page, it seems that quite a number of backers have still not received their devices despite Good Ereader apparently having stock on hand for sale from their own webstore. Some of the Indiegogo backers have been waiting for two years to either receive a device or a refund. Quote:

There is also a comment on Good Ereader's blog site from another backer who reports that the update went smoothly and has increased the device's performance speed.

The update comments thread which I linked to in my last post has disappeared from their website. Wonder what's up...
The one post seemed to be positive. The poster seemed to be very content with the performance after the upgrade. Maybe that was just an initial impression. Perhaps some significant bugs were later discovered and reported on? Certainly, the backer on the Indiegogo page who attempted to install the update still seems to be experiencing difficulties: Quote:
EDIT: The page in question has now returned to their website. Last edited by Question Mark; 03-18-2018 at 10:40 PM. |

Apparently, the update process is not going so smoothly.

It seems that the new update is a bit buggy.

Another owner is reporting difficulties with the new update and is apparently unable to go back to the original firmware.
