Can this device be managed with Calibre, which contains my very large collection? I don't wish to have to use a manufactured app for this purpose.

Apparently it also doesn't run Android but Linux?? How do you add apps to it, without Google Play?

I wonder if there is an 8 inch version coming soon... would rather have that.
It runs on Linux and there is no app store. A few independently built apps used to run, but the new 6.1 firmware has a lot of changes, so there's no guarantee that they will still run.

It connects to Calibre via PC without need for an app.
