According to Voja the Remarkable works only because they've put in a lot of research and developed customized solutions to overcome the limitations of the technology. I doubt Boox is going to put in the same effort any time soon.
There are some rumours out there that Amazon will also release new readers utilizing Gallery 3. If that turns out to be true and those also work well, which I hope will be the case, then we can probably expect others to also invest in it.

I agree that it might make sense for Amazon to release a new Kindle, I'm just not sure they're really planning to do it any time soon..The 5.16.21 firmware mentions a new device that's allegedly going to have a Mediatek processor. Based on what I've read, according to the firmware the device wouldn't be a new version of the Scribe. Reportedly, Amazon's got 90% of the ereader market in 2024. IMO they're far more focused on (still) trying to make Alexa actually be profitable (or at least not like pouring money down a rat hole.)
