Device: Kobo: Not just an eReader, it's an adventure!
trocchietto doesn't want an ereader that will run apps, he/she wants an eInk Android tablet.

The sad fact is that there is very little demand for an eInk tablet. Some exist (or sort of exist, a la Earl), but eInk is mostly good for static applications, and a tablet is not a a static application.

In addition, the automatic translation of colour apps to the black & white eInk will probably not be an especially nice fit.

If there were an huge demand for eInk tablets, someone would be making them. And other people would be buying them.

Kobo is a book store. They are not really a hardware manufacturer. They are definitely not a hardware designer, as the design is done by a third party.

I'm sure that eInk tablets will show up, there is a small level of demand, especially for odd niches.
