Android is far more open than iOS in any circumstances, and all you really need to do is root it, assuming you have one of the Android tablets that even suffers from this problem to begin with!! Not all do, and when they are locked, it is not a fundamental quality of the OS like, say, Apple.
And what mystical ereaders are these that don't run Android also, but have a linux kernel, aren't e-ink (ereaders tend to be) and can install apps in a perfectly open manner that you can live with since Android tablets are apparently too evil for you?
Maybe there is no point in running certain Android builds released by various device manufacturers. But that is not Android itself, so it's rather ridiculous to complain that Android itself is pointless.
Any manufacturer which wants to jail their device will do so; it has nothing to do with Android vs. other OS's
