PineNote is an E Ink tablet with a 10.3-inch frontlit display, support for EMR stylus input, Rockchip RK3566 processor, 4GB of RAM, and 128GB of storage.

When Pine64 first released the PineNote Developer Edition a few years ago, it actually didn’t come with an operating system at all.

Don’t expect an experience as polished as you’d expect from an Amazon, Kobo, reMarkable, or Onyx BOOX device, at least at launch.
