Think it might be something to do with the chips they use in them, IIRC Android versions only support a certain generation of chipsets.
Companies are using relatively older chips in e-reader devices as they have no need for a modern, better one and would likely add unnecessary cost, just to run a more recent version of Android
Is it true that color e reader are less "bright" (with front light turned off) vs B&W readers? I've been thinking about buying the Tab Mini C since the announcement but I don't really care that much about color, I just want the latest and greatest 7.8"

The omission of the sdcard reader has me thinking about holding off on this one for the upgraded one yet to come in a month or two

Most android ereaders are on that version, which is weird when you think about it. I wonder why?

From what I know, the front light makes it better but they are a good bit darker.

Can anyone point out the differences between my 3month old Nova C and this new one? Kinda bummed right now tbh.
