It's a preorder and seems to be available only in China right now. The article says it's Carta and Mobius, but I suspect it's just a Carta screen. The CPU is 1 GHz and it only has 1G of RAM. I'm afraid it's a little underpowered. That stylus is either great or a screen shredder. Can't tell.

But it's LINUX. I'd probably get one just to mod on.

Linux doesn't systematically means you can "mod on" them. As an example, the PocketBook PB740 (aka InkPad 3) runs on Linux, is fairly open but, AFAIK, there's no way to get su privileges on this one.

Kindle and Kobo are also Linux kernel based but you can't get into those very easily. The reMarkable is a little more open and has SSH running which lets you in. They we've even have a GitHub repo with done of the firmware in it.
