Looks like the B/W version rumour was wrong, and it's only going to be colour. That completely rules it out for me, I even prefer B/W eink from many years ago to the current colour eink panels.

Also, seems like it's only going to be 4G. Strange decision considering the 5G Hibreak Pro has been out for some time.

They've redesigned the case, but it still looks poor at first glance. The case seems to have MagSafe now though which would be a good addition. Please just copy the Hisense A9 case (very simple but well fitted, slim, and felt good).

'I don't know why, but Bigme also has the same deal with plastic screens on white devices and glass on the black ones.' I think the plastic on the white HBP is good though, doesn't blur much, diffuses light pretty well, and pretty scratch resistant (unlike the white Palma). It's the best plastic ereader surface I've seen.
