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.

reasonable, i agree with you except with the most important point: i would not mind an eink tablet, also if I bet yotaphone 4 and iphone 7 will be kinda of similar due to battery issues of lcd screens but..... I want just a decent ereader experience: highlights management (with and without cloud) and bidirectional dictionaries should be at least decent. They can use third party people but they need to fidelize users, as the concurrent amazon and the android devices with other formats have an high market quote they need to offer me the best pdf experience, where instead the kindle that in theory is made to fidelize kindle customers offer a better PDF experience than the terrible inbuilt PDF kobo viewer
