I don’t imagine it would be. I know many like the Hisense a9 for its ease of holding and carrying around.
i think you're likely correct
For some reason, most ereaders run android 11. I’m not exactly sure why (and despite asking the question, I haven’t gotten answers) but maybe it’s just the most stable of the recent releases.
Think I mentioned it somewhere here before, but it's usually to keep costs down. eInk devices are relatively less demanding than modern smartphones, and utilize some older chipsets as they don't need the extra power. This also helps keep costs down.
Problem with using holder chipsets is that Android itself only supports a few generations at a time, so they won't be able to get the latest versions of Android, nor the privacy and security features that come with it.

hmmm interesting... very tempted to give that a bash...
i currently have a poke 3 and i really like it, but this would be easier to hold. i wonder if the narrow column width would be uncomfortable, although i dont seem to mind it on my phone.
