There are *no* e-ink readers running Android. Most/all are running a linux flavor. E-ink readers are just that. A reader. No need for fancy OS.
So where exactly are you going with this? Sounds just like "Linux Rules" rant to me.

I remember when I loaded Ubuntu on my Touchpad. That was a real pain. Apparently it wasn't the full version and just trying to get Chinese keyboard entry took weeks and visits to a dozen forums before finally somebody figured out a way. So I wound up deleting Ubuntu and installing Android. I had used it on an old PC before. Problems with drivers, no Netflix, etc. And I needed to use the command line for so many system maintenance or installation things. I see no need to do this to myself. I know Linux is great for people who like to tinker around, but I don't see why most people would want to use it. Standard Linux distributions seem to belong to the 1990s.
