It's not clear because you said: "Everything worked nicely, including the original software."

Thanks.
I was talking about linux (not android). I should have stated this more clearly. But I thought it is evident since I responded to Frostschutz's remark. My point was, that you can use the kernel provided in the XCSoar package, and still use the device as an ereader. I installed the XCSoar application in a way that I can call it from KSM the same way as I call the reading softwares (KOReader, CoolReader, nickel), and so on. And I have a script to switch between the original kernel (usb-storage support) and the XCSoar kernel (OTG support), since it seems that you cannot have both supported at the same time.
Since you want to use android, you need an android kernel with enabled OTG support. The whole discussion went a little off, since it assumed the distinction between android and nickel, instead of android and "regular" linux.
