Must have been Europe-wide, I just checked and also have Android 16 on my NxtPaper 14, with July Android security and Google Play system updates.
Back to the topic, having a KL2, I tested the waters with a 7" color Boox (black version, glass is apparently different on white framed devices). I am not displeased with it, but I find the Kobo a more polished reader - e.g. the reading progress info is easily readable instead of a microscopic eye strainer, etc. The Boox does have Android apps and a lighter build.
On the display side, I feared worse from the Boox color screen. Basically, in the dark or with typical interior illumination I don't notice almost any difference between the KL2 b&w and the Boox color screens - I keep both with sidelight at about 20% and warm color. Outside in the sun the Boox color screen background is noticeably darker, looks like recycled paper.
Long story short, if I had to buy one new e-reader to replace both my e-ink gadgets, I would probably pick the color Libra.
