Ink Pad 2

Is it possible to run CC on an InkPad 2?
If not, which E-Ink (or similar) device with a screen > 7" can use CC?
If Yes, how are you installing it?

Thanks for your help

CC runs on Android. Also on iOS but we can ignore that for this discussion.

As far as I can see, the InkPad 2 doesn't run Android so no, they can't run CC, but perhaps I am wrong. The InkPad 8 does seem to run Android. There are other eink Android devices with larger screens than 7", for example the Onyx Boox M96.

As for how you install CC, that depends on the device. If you can install either the Google Play or Amazon Appstore then that solves the problem. If you cannot then you must purchase CC on some device that supports Google Play, extract the APK using one of the large number of tools, then install that APK on the device.

You can download the CC demo version APK from any number of "alternate" app stores to see if CC works correctly on the device. I strongly recommend this because we have had problems with some eink devices not supporting "standard" buttons and problems with the eink display not refreshing properly. If it doesn't work then it doesn't work. I am not really very interested in making CC work on strange devices.
