Onyx recently announced some new devices that may be available early in 2018, two of which will run Android 6.0! They are larger devices, though - 9.7 inch and up. I'll keep an eye on those. Maybe I'll get a revised version of the 4.4 Kepler Pro firmware before then. I really like the K-Pro. If it ran 4.4, it would be even better.

I'm told that the K-Pro, like most current E-Ink devices, can't handle anything newer than 4.4. These newer devices will have revised hardware so that they can run 6.0.
