And I was responding to your statement of "We had success installing Android on the Nook Simpletouch (no backlight), but when that unit was upgraded to the backlit Glowlight (similar to our Paperwhite) that's where that ability was lost".

That is why I was specifically talking about the Nook.

And since they already run Android, it just requires rooting it. Unlike the Kindle product line which runs linux but not Android, where installing Android would be required -- and difficult.
