Depending on what you want to do, it could be as simple as that. However, there are so many things you might want to tweak afterwards… For example: Backing up the system; installing adb, apps2sd and link2sd support; enabling market access; installing a launcher, a task switcher, and various shortcuts on the home screen and in the status window; installing reader and dictionary applications of your choice; mapping the Left/Right keys to the keyboard events used by various apps; and, configuring everything to behave well on an e-ink screen.
All of this takes time. There are traps, and missteps will happen. For example, sometimes Android forgets all the package–uid mappings, leading to the infamous broken permissions problem (hint: avoid apps2sd and use link2sd, and learn how to use the fix_permissions script).
That's what you need your nerves for. But if you master it all, you'll be rewarded with a great Android e-ink reader, and also you'll have grown to be a better and wiser, and indeed more lovable person.
