Think of what you could actually do with the device ...

Because android is really a terrible Os battery wise!
It has plenty of options, but the OS is battery hungry, and so do most of it's apps. They would also find no use on an e-ink screen, so many of the slide feats in android will not work.
Just as a comparison, 2 identical phones, one using android,the other blackberry Os, the android does 2 days on it's battery,the blackberry (a custom linux) does over 8 days. That's at least 75% longer battery life, just for selecting the right OS!
I would not want an energy efficient screen to be negated by a powerhungry OS.
