Sure there is, but you may need to do a little work. It depends on what you are able or willing to do.
I have a long experience with Linux and some experience with Android (having rooted a few phones), I think I may be able to do a lot, but I haven't so much time, so I cannot do research but only copy what others have done. As long as customization have been studied by somebody else and documentation can be found, I should be able to do it. I haven't got the time to build my own firmware, so maybe the question may be rephrased as follows: what is the reader that has been best hacked?

(from what I read around, it seems that PocketBooks are a good choice even in this regards, aren't they?...)

Yes, I know, but I would really like to get a frontlit reader, and Sony didn't produce one... ;-)
