I'd be interested to hear other people's use-cases, and what they think the pros and cons are of this device.
There's no problem to install other ARM based linux version but, you will need to compile drivers for EE hardware (there's several other devices on ARM with e-ink, but I didn't find drivers sources). Also I'm not sure if you will be able to reinstall EE firmware after installing another OS.
P.S. there's a full image of EE android distributive were released, so you can download, and try to make your own firware version (like dided for NooK, Alex, Kindle and so on).
