Ahh, I understand. Every Android e-ink device I have seen comes with a modified version of Android (usually 4.2 Jellybean) changed to be suitable for e-ink (repaint when needed, almost no animation, etc) and that knows how to drive the hardware. I can install any app I want but the lack of color and animation makes most apps close to useless.
