I'm doing as much research as I can before buying a Note Air 2...

Reviews of Boox products sometimes caution that firmware updates might not be available automatically—that it depends on where you buy the device.

If they mean you might not be able to update the firmware at all on certain devices (depending on vendor), that'd definitely be a cause for concern.

But is the issue that firmware updates simply aren't pushed automatically to certain devices, depending on where they were purchased? If it's a matter only of manually selecting a "Check for updates..." option somewhere within Settings, that doesn't seem like any big deal. TIA...
