I truly hope so.
On the eink readers it *is* a big plus.

But what I'm hearing is that anybody buying an IQ today should not expect a Pocketbook Reader experience, that it is *for now* an Android tablet that might *someday* equal the features of its sibling products. (Or it might not.)

Definitely worth buying on those terms, okay? :-)

But when I order I'll know not to count on anything beyond the generic android reader apps. I believe it is safest (mental health-wise) not to rely on future deliverables as part of the buy-no buy decision. If they show up, I'll be delighted but if they don't, I'll have no reason to be disappointed.

As I said, keeping things clear is best for everybody. :-D
(Now, to wait for the release firmware to get out so I can confidently order.)
