Hi all /wave

I'm trying to find a Android 4.4+ based device with eInk display.

I've done some looking around and can only seem to find one with 4.2 version of android.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thank you.

Larry.

If i recall correctly Nook latest glowlight is on android 4.4. All the other andorid readers are based on 4.2 or lower. They are unlikely to go to a newer version of android until some new eink screen comes out as if it works most chinese oem are unwilling to upgrade.

thank you for the reply.

I'm avoiding the nook for now due to wanting features that it doesn't have.

The ability to have a external sd card for one.

thank you very much tho.
