To answer the question about the ROM... let's say Boox is controlled by Chicom (I don't even know who owns them). If that were the case (and I don't know), then of course they have a kill switch built in or whatever other fun stuff. Like Baofang radios. Eat up kids, they're not stupid. I just want a book reader I can keep when the wars start, simple as that.
From wikipedia:
"As of 2022, Onyx International Inc. has declined[20] to release the source code with Linux kernel modifications licensed under the GNU General Public License version 2 in response to a written request by a user. The GPLv2 license states that if a modified version of a covered work (such as the Linux kernel) is released, the corresponding source code must also be released under GPLv2."

SO WHY spend $500+ on a device to keep for a decade of the Chicoms could shut it down? Really, that question, not another question, and Rockefeller-installed Chicoms are not "some country." This just makes me mad because it's the only Android device out there.
