Open Android e-readers more customizable than a conventional single-UI e-readers (be it Linux or android-based). Plus you can do a lot of other things with open Android reader. The down-side is the battery. Also if you're locked into one retailer, the native UI cannot be beaten in a conventional e-reader.

Each to their own. I see the value in and own both types. For example, I use a Nook glowlight 3, but the Nook UI doesn't allow collections and doesn't offer an inverted night-mode screen. So I run Koreader under Android. The downside is the battery life. If I travel, I take a PW2, though it's jailbreaked and runs Koreader.
