New PocketBook InkPad X Pro
It looks like there's an update to the InkPad X coming, according to the FCC: https://fccid.io/2AUVWPB1040D

Oh well spotted! That's certainly a change from (all?) other Pocketbook devices isn't it?
The top left icon mentions Mobius, so hopefully it'll be a robust screen. The external photos don't show an Era/InkPad 4-style cover attachment panel. Just crossing fingers that Pocketbook finally move on from the Allwinner B288 dual core 1GHz CPUs.. |

10.3 inches instead of 10.2? So not 300 PPI, then?
That would be a sure letdown. |

Certainly not.
These ancient components will soon no longer be available and the ancient kernel is certainly not capable of new components. All of this is available for Android - apart from that, Pocketbook has an Android app that is far superior to the capabilities of the devices |

Not in my opinion of it. I don't like Android tablets disguised as eReaders. |

Possibly they were hamstrung by the Allwinner SOC, which only officially supports Linux 3.10 and Android 4.4.

And for 11 there are existing drivers Quote:
And the Linux kernel adaptation is not particularly well suited to that. |

I think PocketBook has done a pretty good job with their "Linux tinkering." And if they're really restricted to Android 4.4 with their chosen CPU, isn't that going to be restrictive?
