So is there any progress on this? I'm looking into buying something to replace my InkBOOK, and it seems idiotic that the next version of the hardware is still running Android 4.2.

And I do not understand why I can apparently buy the larger screen devices with a newer Android version, but not the 6 inch ones.

And the 'battery life' excuse is nonsense. I mean, I've heard that too, but newer Android versions are actually better at battery life, not worse! 6 introduced Doze mode, and 7 made it better.
