The timing makes sense since we know the Google Editions store is coming soon. I imagine they'd want to launch them at the same time.
And that this is supposed to run android is encouraging too, in that it makes it more likely (at least a little) Google Editions won't be entirely cloud based.
I really hope Google uses an advanced transreflective screen tech. I don't care which one, though I'm most familiar with Pixel Qi. But I'm wary of buying Android devices from 3rd parties, like Notion Ink, in fear of the device falling behind on OS updates. Buying straight from Google would be dreamy.
