Thanks, @hugleo!

I'm afraid we cannot add support for this device. Its android version is less than our minimum.

I keep a branch with the last supported version plus new devices. See koreader/koreader#10614 (comment)

I wouldn't mind to keep it updated with new devices.

Well, I told you that support for old Android versions is important...
This device could be great for at least another 5 years as long there is software support and the battery, doesn't break.

The code can be added in the @pazos branch. But I think one needs to build the apk manually.

Thats good! But that version has some bugs and KOReader is (thankfully) a rather quickly developing project and works very well even on old devices.
And given that manufactures almost exclusively used ancient Android version until recently, probably the majority of devices which have ever been manufactured are running Android 4.4 or older.
So I am hoping that at least no further changes about the minimum API level will occur anytime soon!

Nope.
