Will buying an e-ink reader with Android 11 be an issue in a couple of years? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

Like the Meebok M7 which runs Android 11. I know most apps support Android 9 as minimum, but how future proof will Android 11 be for these coming 5 years for example? I know it went EOL like last year. I could go for the Meebook M8 with Android 14, but it's much more expensive..

It'll be for reading as the screen is eink. Some book apps though and so forth.

Okay. If you're just loading books via USB and not connecting it to the internet, you could just as well use a Android 2.0 (Eclair) operating system tablet from 15 years ago. You'll be fine with that tablet.
