It is true that I can take Bouye or EnergyPro+ but

they are tacky in my opinion compared to the marvellous Kobo Glo HD, their processor is not the same, so the screen, and with Boyue + you have to install the google play store with hacks, in the case of Onyx I do not have a good resolution and also not a Carta screen but pearl.

What I want is only 1 thing: a good reader experience for a an exigent user like me. At the moment Android goes near to that as you can combine different software depending by my needs( as still i miss the definitive software, kindle, mantano pro and moon+reader pro are the nearest to my ideal one) but... as I am really busy man, i cannot spend hours to return back a product that does not have the quality advertised, cancel chinese apps, find workarounds to install the software, risk to brick devices, dealing with inexisting customer services etc. And also I want a beautiful design an excellent screen, in one phrase :
a Kobo that has (even an hacked) dual boot with android 4 or android standalone operative system.

But you are in no way a standard e-reader user.

E-readers don't need apps, or app installs. You'll end up with a cross between a tablet and an e-reader with all the disadvantages of both and none of the advantages.

Poor battery life because of extra apps and system resources for example.
