Exactly, I'm avoiding them for the same reason, I don't want to use a personal e-ink device running on an OS created by the biggest advertiser in the world.
I was hoping Pocketbook would release something new this year running some Linux distro / with less tracking, and more privacy.
PS. Also: i want a light sensor to automatically adjust brightness/night mode based on lighting conditions (previous Pocketbook models don't have this.)
Can AOSP be installed on the Boox (10.3) though? I thought the bootloader was locked…
In any case, i think going this route might be very finicky, i’m afraid it would become a new hobby just to get it up and running / and keep it updated.
No, it is locked and furthermore DOA because devices don't get version updates after release. E.g. my ultra C comes and dies with Android 13... In late 2023.
