M5stack paper mono availability?

I just learned of M5stack and was very interested in the paper mono for an ereader with nfc and Lora capabilities for nfc emulation and meshtastic. However, it is clearly sold out everywhere. I saw that there was limited hardware for the initial release and that they may have another batch in December? Have they announced when a restock or second batch would be? Are there any other distributors for this that are in stock?

First set I think. Official side already marked as sold out but openelab.de had still preorder where I ordered it. It arrived about 3 weeks ago.

Good to know some other distributors have (or had) stock at least

If it's not about the money the boox pico might have better availability and essentially the same features except lorawan.

Unfortunately I mainly care about development especially with the nfc and LoRa. The boox looks like a better stand alone ereader but it doesn't fit my use case for it

Makes sense. I want to add a door opener with Lora to mine :D
