There are many more issues in the Boox provided software than just that task switching thing.

It appears to be rather obvious that Boox doesn't have the man power nor advanced enough skills to provide a well made software offering. Everything is working only at a very basic level, as if created by non-expert developers.

A pity they don't fully open their software to allow interested third parties to fork it and provide enhancements and maybe even a fully reworked clone.

Even with the current slowish CPU offerings, the Boox devices would be phantastic tools if only the software capabilities were on par with the hardware.
