The Amazon Kindle or Kobo ereaders use a modified Linux operating system though there are ways of installing Android on the Kobo ereaders. As for the color displays, all three mentioned have been around for a while and so far the few dedicated ereaders with colour displays have been very disappointing in terms of colour rendition -- washed out, grey background, lacking contrast are among the kinder comments I've seen.
As far as I know, the Glo HD and Touch 2.0 use the iMX6 processor. I've seen mention of an iMX6 processor in the Aura H2O but I've also seen mention that it uses the iMX5 processor. Given the maximum refresh rate of an eInk display, I doubt I would see much difference between performance using either processor unless I broke down and tried rendering some of my pdf format tech documents -- the ones I tend to use on a laptop, iPad Pro or Nexus 7 HD (in order of decreasing preference).
