It looks to me that Onyx is positioning the Kepler Pro to be more of a pure eReader than their other products. The KP may still run Android, but it seems to be less versatile than the C67ML Carta 2. No audio capability, for one thing, which the C67 has. This could also be a trial balloon on Onyx's part - to see how this concept of an Android eInk eReader sells and is received. The lack of a back button is a real handicap for the KP. A firmware update could fix that. But they'd need to do some hardware modifications (KP2, anyone?) to remedy the lack of audio capability. Till then, might the C67ML Carta 2 be the better buy if you want 300dpi, audio and a back button?
