I installed Android a few days ago and I am yet undecided about which system is best. Well, at the moment I haven't been able to rotate the screen but it seems to be working OK for most people so I must be doing something wrong.
Without rotating I miss being able to read comics in Landscape mode. That is a must for such a small screen.
The readers are OK, though. You can install dictionaries like Colordict or Fora that let you check words inside the readers. Kindle app works fine though it is an old version so it does not support Asian languages in case you needed it.
You can also install other programs like an internet browser (Opera works fine) or some simple games like Othello or Chess.
In the original system you can install Koreader and Cool reader. They are very good and you can use Stardict dictionaries with Koreader (Cool reader does not support dictionaries yet).
With Koreader you can read Comics too and rotating is not a problem.
Cool Reader is nicer for reading but this is just a personal opinion. It also includes a few games like Chess, Checkers, Sudoku...
Regards.
