It's mostly normal Android from what I can tell. There's also Kobo where all of their devices are Linux based, although it's more of an embedded Linux system with limited flexibility, but you can install koreader on them along with some other mods.
And there's the Onyx Boox series which run Android as well, although they seem to have retired most of their B/W devices.
I do really want an android boox but I can't justify it for that price I either go audiobook or physical, don't really see the point of using an e reader with those two options available. The tablet would end up just being a toy
I was also wondering what that linux claim means, so I just sent them an email to ask. Hope they get back to me with an actual answer.
Ah very nice, let me know how that goes please
Haven't heard from them yet, so i guess they're not gonna reply unfortunately
Ah that's a shame

I love my A6X2 Nomad, it's a great device. Note that it's an Android based device. For me, I have no interest in hacking it, side loading Android apps, or running Linux on it. It does exactly what I want it to out of the box and serves its purpose perfectly as a low power digital notebook.
To be honest I don't need to put Linux on it, it's just nice to know when they inevitably stop updating it I have an alternative
