Thanks! I actually didn't leave the boards
I last time I was heavily busy with polishing our new shop system (
https://ereader.store), since our old system is already quite obsolete and cannot be just upgraded per button click (a lot of own modifications). Unfortunately it became unstable in last time so we decided to move to another system.

One question about the exciting world of production: the rk3188 is an excellent ARM Cortex A9, that will bring fresh air. But the half-informed would have presume that it would be time for the ARM Cortex A17 (160% performance per watt with respect to its predecessor) - the rk3288 is an example. Why are they currently unsuitable (or not chosen)? The price, lack of EPD support, product consolidation...?

To be honest - I don't know. Most likely the price could play a big role by decision makers. Additionally the higher processor performance in ereaders is not really of big importance. The decision to move to new processors architecture was made in first line to offer higher Android versions compatible chip sets.

AFAIK the currently used in Onyx devices chip sets will not be supported by Android versions higher than 4.4.4

Upon reasonable payment, of course : )

I really hope so! We expect to get the first small batch of them in the first weeks of 2018

There is no official schedule yet. At least Onyx doesn't reveal it. Internally I was promised to get a small quantity of the first batch of new devices in the first weeks of 2018

Not sure what Dasung really does offer. AFAIK they call it Floyd-Warshall algorithm in they Pro devices. Onyx develops own techniques in order to achieve better screen performance. We have implemented the
Floyd-Steinberg Dithering. I don’t know if both of the Floyd algorithm are of same efficiency.

Please reply

AFAIK currently they are thinking about two versions of Max2 - Max2 (Wacom only) and Max2Pro (dual touch)

Max and Canvas will be equipped with SD card slot. Boox Note - currently designed without SD Card slot, but the internal storage could be increased up to 64GB (dependent on demand )
