It's more probable that the OS/firmware of the current Sony Readers will be tweaked, rather than wholly replaced. The current firmware is stable. It's the software for loading books onto their devices that Sony (as always) needs to improve upon!
B&N's nook has always been Android based. So yes, it can be done and has been done.
