Hi Travis,
Thanks for pointing me in direction of the Earl. I hadn’t seen that before, and will definitely check it out!
It would be very nice to have a device that runs android out of the box

Hi Emil,
We have had the same thought. The sunlight-viewable e-ink screens are well suited for field use. I haven’t been able get my hands on an e-ink reader that runs android yet, however. I did pre-order the Earl (www.meetearl.com), which is precisely what I think we are both looking for. Sadly, there have been delays, and the Earl has yet to ship. It does natively run android, and has an e-ink screen, so I have high hopes for it, when it finally does ship. Sorry I couldn’t be more help with practical experience, but I surely understand where you are coming from. Please post any testing results here if you try kobo on a hacked device.
Thanks,
Travis
