It has already happened, with readers such as the Crema Shine (South Korea only), and one of the Boox Readers (Russia only). There are some other generic readers that try something like this, but they're half-arsed attempts, IMHO. They either lack a front-light, have an old 800x600 screen, run an ancient android version, or they just happen to run Android with a built-in reading app, and no market (which can sometimes be hacked onto it).
I'd like to see aan Android reader done right; and I really mean an Android reader, and not a pared down e-Ink tablet. The reason to choose Android as the OS has nothing to do with the fact that it is Android, but because there are quite a lot of reading apps in the Android Market already, that could be easily, or even immediately ported.
