The Nook Simple Touch has similar hardware as the kindles, and runs an older android. Perhaps that would be a good code base to start from, already having a lot of the hardware support we need built-in...

Or another OS. Some simple linux desktop on the existing GPL code base would be nice, and probably right up twobob's alley. We should start a collection to get him a Paperwhite.
