I don't think so, not from what I can tell at least. Kindle Voyage and PW2 use the Freescale i.MX6, the Kobo Aura H20 uses a Freescale i.MX507 and their brand new Glo HD uses an i.MX6, and the current Nook uses the same TI OMAP 3621 the previous one did AFAIK.

The i.MX processors are very popular for readers since they have the eInk controller on-board (so does the OMAP 3621).

But is there a 28nm chip that includes the epd controller?
