It does give me hope that there might be some eink tablets with better than Android 4.2 coming online soon.
As for not being able to add apps, that could simply mean that Google Play Store isn't installed. You could probably sideload apps, or root the device and install Play Store. (Of course, it might help if the Venus had English as a language option!)

I'd love to see an eInk eReader with a newer version of Android. To be honest, I have my doubts about the Venus really being 4.4.2. I suspect it's 4.2.2, like other Boyue devices. (I wouldn't mind being wrong about this, BTW!)
