It has an octacore processor with 2 GHZ, 2GB RAM and 32GB storage. It runs an eink specialized open Android 9.0 software, which can be used in 4 different modes, which lets you decide in "grayscales" whether you want to have a rather "slow" clearing screen for reading books or have a fast and ghosting experience while browsing the internet. You can customize you app experience individually, by selecting which app should start in which mode and when it should refresh (after 0,1,2,3 ... clicks).

Of course, the main purpose of this device is reading, but you could watch youtube videos fairly nice, if you really wanted to.
I also have the Kepler Pro and even with it YouTube is in A2 mode.
And my Poke Pro also has firmware version 2.3 with X-Mode.
But you are right - they are expensive compared to other 6 inch devices, but they are also much better equipped.
