According to this site, only 1.8% off android devices run version prior to 4.1 ... so more and more apps where not compatible with Onyx Boox...

I also expect that newer Android has native functions to force render apps in 2 colors (B/W), which is great for us...
  1. How many of these "newer apps" are compatible with eInk displays and are practical with eReaders' typically slower CPUs?
  2. What percentage of eInk Android eReaders "run version prior to 4.1"? If most do, then most apps targeted at eReaders will be compatible.
  3. Is there any factual basis for your "expect[ation] that newer Android has native functions to force render apps in 2 colors (B/W)"? And how robust are these functions?
