If this has page turn buttons, reasonably fast hardware and 300 PPI I'll instantly buy it.

As for Android vs Linux for e-readers there's no contest for me: Android wins hands down.

The one point where Android just wipes the floor with Pocketbook/Kobo/Kindle is reading in foreign languages. The dictionary support is woeful on "pure ereaders". They don't support inflection, so forget about having a useful Russian or Spanish dictionary. Few languages are supported.

On an Android reader I can just install Goldendict, a stardict file for the language I want and a hunspell dictionary for morphology support and off I go. Perfect language learning device.

Would I prefer this to be implemented in Kobos own ecosystem or directly in Koreader? Yes. Is that ever going to happen? No.
