This does has me wondering how secure these pocketbook devices are vis a vis known vulnerabilities, might be a fun project to look closer at one of these days. |

If hardware works in android it'll work in linux, android runs on top of linux, but the core issue here is allwinner not building newer kernels for their old soc's. A lot of driver kernel modules are also only provided by manufacturers as binary blobs, this is a well known issue for Android and Linux in general and why eg LineageOS can;t always update the kernels either because they have to maintain compability with closed source binary blobs. |

I know you can add stardict files to kobo with a bit of manipulation but your mileage my vary, the languages I master seem to display properly. |

Many buying apps require the Play Store for their verification. And getting a license is pretty easy with the GSF ID. |

This is all intended behaviour and the devs are not interested in adding morphology (e.g. hunspell dictionary) support. What languages do you read in, then? Are they similar to English in that they lack very complex morphology? |

![]() I think the goldendict approach is easier to support, since it doesn't matter whether or not it's included in the dictionary - the rules are handled by a separate dictionary: hunspell. And hunspell dictionaries are available for almost all major languages with some notable - agglutinative - exceptions. Yes, out of those I'd only expect maybe French to offer any sort of trouble. But it's no surprise that it's well supported. But for Slavic languages one has to resort to Android for dictionary support. Not to mention something like Finnish - which also works well on Android. |

If you're talking about the current line of PocketBooks, the development work has already been done. The code base already exists. My PocketBook HD 3 is being maintained not reinvented each time an update is applied to it. |
