PocketBook used to have tablets as well. Not the same thing though.

I've also had three different models of Binatone Color LCD ereaders. One with a keyboard was actually really an Android Tablet (maybe V2 or V3?) with a pair defunct online stores instead of Playstore. I managed to directly install apks from an archive site. So it was a bit like an ancient Binatone version of what an Amazon Fire is.

The other two were dedicated ereaders, though the older one could play some mp4 videos.

One is maybe dead. Grandchildren have the other two.

Been months of use now of my pocket book color 3. No issues and still a great device.

Also heads up, koreader finally updated to support dithering on the device and fixed many issues. One standing issue where if you refresh a image that had just refreshed the screen it will distort color images. Which is minor anyways.
