Can e-ink readers be hacked to run Android?

E-ink will get faster, but it's probably never going to be commercially viable to run videos on it, and the color problems (colors look washed-out and dull) are a matter of physics, not technological skill.

In any case "device is hackable to do [X]" is not likely to be relevant in legal discussions about what features are required to be included.
