PineNote: Linux-based eReader with a digitizer from PINE64 is now available for US$399

The PineNote is orderable, some five months after the eReader debuted. To recap, the PineNote has a 10.1-inch e-ink display with a 1,872 x 1,404-pixel resolution. The eReader also has a digitizer that supports Wacom EMR-compatible pens, along with 128 GB of eMMC flash storage and 4 GB of LPDDR4 RAM.

Additionally, the PineNote has a 4,000 mAh battery, a Rockchip RK3566 SoC, a USB Type-C port and a Wi-Fi 5-capable modem. PINE64 adds that the eReader has 1.3 W stereo speakers too, plus four microphones and a gyroscope for sensing when to rotate the device's display.

For reference, the PineNote measures 191.1 x 232.5 x 7.4 mm and weighs 438 g. Currently, the eReader is orderable now through PINE64's website for US$399. However, the company includes the following disclaimer for the device, which it also calls the PineNote Developer Edition:

As a result, PINE64 implores that only developers order the PineNote who have 'extensive knowledge of embedded systems and/or experience with mobile Linux'. Subsequent PineNote batches should be suitable for people who are not developers, though.
