I'm also trying to figure out whether to buy a Boox from the official taobao store or from their website in Hong Kong. The customer service on taobao has told me that the China version cannot be flashed with the international firmware, so if you want native google app support then it would be difficult? China version does support English language interface though.
Has anyone tried to flash the china market versions with international firmware?
The mainland China models are slightly different from the international models:
