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.
Is there actually a market for a "truly 6inch eink tablet", with the extra processing power of an octacore?

I don't mind spending a bit extra for a premium eReader, but I'd be paying the extra money for the build quality and slim design not for any extra power or non-eReading display modes. I most certainly don't want to web-browse or watch videos on it -- I don't even do that on the two octacore color tablets I already have (that's what my desktop & 27" monitor are for).
