It's a custom android OS.

But it's mostly about the slightly innovative screen tech, right? Hope they succeed.

Yes. I think so. It would be nice if they could combine their outdoorsy, big- tech free ethos with privacy, maybe a la graphene?

I really like the concept.

However the danger is this is just stock Android (including Google Services) with a "clean UI".

Is there any specifics about "Sol OS" besides just the blurb about it being android?

No. Not that I could find.

yea, they don't even seem to have a github that I could find. So, a little wary of this....

Really impressed with the tech! It seems a very good device for Stackers like us. We read a lot all through the day.

Are you gonna buy it?

Love eInk displays. I would love to try this device out. Just got a Remarkable tablet which is very different from this but I believe started this move to eInk tablets.
