Yes, it was crowdfounded in 2013, has changed design,features and manufacturers since then, still not ready. One of the problems with it ,as I have pointed out before, is that the Electronic ink screen originally designed for it stops working at 32f or thereabout. Another was that some of the many built-in gadgets interfered with each other. (for example short wave and AM radio with MP3) Anyway : http://the-digital-reader.com/2015/04/10/earl-back-country-tablet-delayed-until-early-2016-at-least/ BTW, I almost put my order in when first announced , then alarm bells went off when I read some of the specs and realised they were a bunch of nice features but the designers had no idea that some of them would be difficult if not impossible to get to work together the way they wanted them to work.
Is it too good to be true or is it doable with time to work out the kinks?
