I have 7 inch Android tablet which I like but I am done with lcd ips etc screen stuff I want to just use an Android E-ink tablet.

I would like it to be be high res (I do not want 1200x800 type of res), good battery life. I probably will end up installing Cyanogen mod on it if possible. It would be nice if it comes with recent Android.

I already have Boyue T62 which is great. I use it with Cool Reader FBReader and AlReader. However the battery life is not so good even compared to my 4 times powerful Android tablet. I do not even run much on it. Anyway it is a nice tablet and I like it alot.

One other reason I am not enjoying Boyue as an Android tablet is that I can not switch between apps easily, I have to quit apps to change to another one. I tried different launcher but the bottom drawer does not exist so it is an issue.
For the T62, have you updated to the latest version? My battery life is much better now. When not in use it only uses .2 to .4% battery per hour. I don't have to quit one app to use another so I'm not sure what you are doing there. I use the Button Savior app to get the recent apps button, but even without it you can just use the home button and open another app from there or tap the icon of the app you want to return to. Nova launcher works well for that.
