Hi Marek! This is a very good new. I tried Android on my Glo some days ago and I was impressed. I played with it a little, but I returned to the "Kobo OS" also because readers had many ghost problems.

But it was not the only trouble. I see many problems with Android on Kobo:

GUI is confusing: nickel GUI is minimalistic and black-on-white.
Too much scrolling: in nickel you open a window or turn a page
too much refreshes: nickel is more conservative, it do a full refresh only when you really needs it

Do you plan to do some modification to the Tolino GUI? If so, I'll be happy to give you my modest contribute.
