I changed out the uSD card in my Clara HD for a 32GB version. There are several tutorials on this process.

For eInk devices, Kobo, Amazon, Pocketbook use Linux while most others such as Onyx Boox, Tolino, Boyue, etc. are using Android. The battery life issue is, IMHO, more likely related to the reduced battery size in many newer ereaders in an attempt to reduce the weight.

One of my coworkers purchased a Onxy Boox Poke3 as a Christmas present to himself. He installed multiple reading apps (Kindle, Kobo, Pocketbook, Moon+, Audible, etc.). He has been very disappointed with the battery life even using the native reading app but then an 8 core CPU, WiFi/Bluetooth and Android 10's less than stellar power optimization for eInk displays is not a good recipe for long battery life.

I suspect that a mix of an older Android version and Sony's heavy customization helped with the battery life.
