They did, indeed, release an update. However, whether that update resolves more issues than it creates is still to be determined. It should be noted that the update will also remove access to the Google Play Store from the device.
From comments on their Indiegogo page where only bonafide backers can post comments, only one person has reported so far on attempting to install the update. It apparently did not go well.

OK…… decided it was worth dusting this POC off to see if the update makes a difference.
Now my drinks tray is stuck in a loop. Telling me Encryption unsuccessful. To resume using your tablet, you need to perform a factory reset.
Hmmmmm
Can anyone how to remember how to reset this thing?

And also from that same comments page, it seems that quite a number of backers have still not received their devices despite Good Ereader apparently having stock on hand for sale from their own webstore. Some of the Indiegogo backers have been waiting for two years to either receive a device or a refund.

Hi Michael and Peter,
If you are selling the eReaders at your online stores, that means you have them in stock. Is there a reason that you don’t send the eReaders to your loyal backers first but selling them online to other customers? Many of the backers have been waiting for more than 2 years for the eReaders. Please respond.

Thanks for the update guys! I am going to test it out now. For other owners, remember to put the “update” zip file in the highest level of the root folder level (i.e. don’t put it in any sub-folders).
