My Kobo Glo is starting to fail on me and I'm looking for a replacement. I want to keep the 6" screen size but gain android OS so that I can install FBreader Pro and keep my books sync'd across my devices. I'm looking at the Icarus Illumina E654BK, which comes with Google play, or the Boyue T63 JDRead which has a better screen but doesn't have Google play. How easy would it be to side load the readers, and calibre companion, I want onto the T3 without Google play? I'm not sure if Android OS is enough or if I need the Google environment too. What has your experience been?

Thanks!
